Who is God? Psalm 104
Reading the Psalms is better than therapy. Each psalm is a treasure of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Occasionally, it’s a window into our soul and at other times it’s a door into the heart of God. We learn that nothing is more pressing than our need for God and our need to know Him intimately.… Continue reading Who is God? Psalm 104

Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking- 2nd Peter 3:1 NIV It’s way above my paygrade.
