Three women sitting on a rock looking at the moon rise over the ocean, For Your Good and His Glory

For Your Good and His Glory

What the enemy means for evil God will work for your good and His glory. In my lifetime, I cannot remember when the evil desires of men were so blatant and bold about their agenda.

Confident

We haven’t worshiped together in a while. Prayer and worship are my favorite ways to spend time with the Lord. I especially love worship music because so much scripture is included in the lyrics.
