“Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” Revelation 5:13 (NIV)
The silence of stillness speaks volumes. You can hear God speak through still waters. Sit a while and ponder Holy goodness in your life. Calm waters are a welcome respite from the day to day grind. Seek your still waters and listen for God’s wisdom. … He leads me beside still waters. He restores my […]
We arrive with nothing at birth, and we leave with nothing at death. All of the in between is the learning process of living right or living wrong.
