"The law of the Lord is perfect restoring the
soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing
the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
"The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
the judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, that
much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey
are the drippings of the honeycomb." Psalm 19:7-10
"We CAN trust God. He
does sovereignly intervene in the hearts of people so that they make decisions
and carry out actions that accomplish His purpose for our lives. Yet God does this in such a way that these
people make their decisions and carry out their plans by their own free and
voluntary choices."*
And around us people, like
the angels watch to see how we will react in light of our dependence upon the
Lord. We have the privilege of inspiring
curiosity in others by our trust in our Lord!
Take care with love,
especially His! Your servant and friend
in Christ, Darlene
