Exodus 23:25 – “And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.” What does it mean to serve? The dictionary defines it as performing a duty for another person, rendering assistance, being of use, or working […]
Psalm 1:3 – “that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” This Psalm speaks about two groups of people: friends of God, who he calls righteous and enemies of God, who we call godless.
