God’s Alphabet of Truth: Gimel — Grace

Beautiful Inheritance

Psalm 16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. The sorrows of those who run after another god…
