I was struggling last week and Psalms 62 came to my mind (I don’t know why but it did). So I read it every day. This verse in particular stuck out: “Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”…
“…Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.” John 11:9-10 We use the light to walk because it is very helpful in preventing us from stumbling, right? But…
