QUOTE OF THE WEEK
You hold me by my right hand.
You will guide me with Your counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.
But it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,
That I may declare all Your works.
That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of the daughter of Zion.
Psalm 73:23 ; Psalm 73:24 ; Psalm 73:28
