Wednesday's Living Water

Scripture

What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
Philippians 1: 18-20

Saturday's Living Water

Scripture

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,

And the son of man that You care for him?
Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
