PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS WONDER IN CREATION How clearly the sky reveals God’s glory. How plainly it shows what he has done! Each day announces it to the following day, each night repeats it to the next. No speech or words are used, no sound is heard, yet their message goes out to all the world, and is heard to the ends of the earth. God made a home in the sky for the sun; It comes out in the morning like a happy bridegroom, like an athlete eager to run a race. It starts at one end of the sky and goes across to the other. Nothing can hide from its heat………..   Psalm 19

THE VALUE OF WISDOM   Job 28:13-20 Wisdom is not to be found among mortals. No one know its true value. The depths of the oceans and seas. Say that wisdom is not found there. It cannot be bought with silver or gold. The finest gold vase or finest glass. The value of wisdom is more than coral or crystal or rubies, The finest topaz and the purest gold, cannot compare with the value of wisdom Where, then, is the source of wisdom? Where can we learn to understand? Man is lonely by Birth

 I PLEAD WITH HIM   Psalm 142   MAY THE LORD ANSWER WHEN YOU CALL I call to the LORD for help, I plead with him’ I bring him all my complaints, I tell him all my troubles. When I am ready to give up, he knows what I should do. In the path where I walk, my enemies have hidden a trap for me. When I look beside me, I see that there is no one to help me, no one cares for me. LORD, I cry to you for help, you, LORD, are my protector, you are all I want in this life. Listen to my cry for help, for I am sunk in despair. Save me from my enemies, they are too strong for me. Set me free from my distress;   then in the assembly of your people I will praise you because of your goodness to me.
