A Verse for now

A verse that is taped to the top of my desk:
Keep steady my steps
according to your promise,
and let no inquity get dominion over me.
- Psalm 119:133

In Christ Alone

“He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification & redemption.” – [1 Corinthians 1:30]
