The Word For Today; Monday, September 30, 2024

The LORD Knows Those Who Are His The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

The Righteous, The Wise

Enduring Like Mount Zion

They that trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people from henceforth even for ever.  For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest …

The Fearlessness of the Righteous
