Today’s Scripture: I Peter 4:11 (NLT): Are you called to be a speaker? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Are you called to help others?

“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.

and streams in the wasteland.
The wild animals honor me,
the jackals and the owls,
because I provide water in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
the people I formed for myself
that they may proclaim my praise.
