        Surely your [God’s] goodness and love will follow  me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the  house of the LORD forever.

    For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (emphasis mine) 26 words: such a simple but rich truth!  Last week, in Part 1 we looked at God's extravagance described in the first few words of this verse.  Extravagant love: He loved us before were were even born.

    Who said a series of 7 can't have 8 - or even 9 - parts? If you don't believe me, ask Douglas Adams. Look him up - if you haven't read his books, they're hysterical! Most believe that this psalm was written during the years David fled for his life from Saul’s jealous rage. He hid in forests and in dark caves.  Even in this difficult situation, David expressed total faith in his Lord. Surely… Read More
