I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!

A quick post before heading to service this morning.
Today’s verse is one of those necessary reminders. At least for me.
In life, it’s easy to become distracted. To look to others or the things of the world (money, stuff and things) to fill us or make us feel whole.
Today’s verse is a heavy one. There’s a lot to unpack and a lot of wisdom here.
If you think about it, some of the greatest reality checks come from those who know and love us the most.
