Adrienne Liesching by Hadleigh Baptist Church
“Open to me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter
through them, I shall give thanks to the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous will enter through it. I shall give thanks to You, for You have
answered me, and You have become my salvation.
“The stone which the builders rejected has become the
chief corner stone. This is the Lord’s
doing’ it is marvelous in our eyes. This
is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalm 118:19-24
