Praise the LORD! Praise HIM when you wake and when you step out of bed, as soon as your feet hit the floor. Praise HIM as you hold your first cup of coffee and then adore HIM again in the car. Praise HIM everywhere you are and everywhere you go. Revere HIM and admire HIM. … More AS LONG AS YOU DRAW BREATH
I recently read in John MacArthur’s devotional: “Drawing Near” that true believers receive GOD’S word. Which makes me ponder what is my own attitude towards HIS word?
