From Psalm 3:3-4:  “But you, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.  I cry aloud to the Lord, and He answers me from His holy hill.”

Shoring up man’s wisdom

Stepping forward to serve

Giving generously

From heavens, God observes

Walking daily with God

Sharing peace from His love

Receiving blessed grace

Mercy breathes from above

Facing adversity

Believing in God’s Word

Unwavering journey

Hope deepens from faith stirred

Writing faith’s divine plan

Fulfilling every page

Forgiving sin’s darkness

Christ’s light takes center stage

From Acts 13:23-25:  “Of this man’s posterity God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as He promised; before His coming John had already proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.  And as John was finishing his work, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am?  I am not He.  No, but One is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the strap of the sandals on His feet.’”
