How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number – living things both large and small.
~Psalm 104:24-25~

A Thought for the Day
"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."
~1 Timothy 4:12~
"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them."
~Ecclesiastes 12:1~
Both of these verses have been on my mind recently. Each year, as I turn another year older, I wonder what God has planned for my life. I continue to trust in Him and seek His name more each day. I know that whatever the future holds for my life will be directed by the LORD...
"A man's heart deviseth his ways: but the LORD directeth his steps."
~Proverbs 16:9~
"The LORD shall guide thee continually..."
~Isaiah 58:11~
I am so thankful to God for taking care of me, and loving me. I shall completely trust in Him during this season of my life, and I pray that you will as well!
