Psalm 128:1– Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God you fear everything else.—-Oswald Chambers Dear Friends, As I am sure all of you know, refugees from Ukraine are continuing to flee into Poland, Moldova, and Romania.
