Earthen vessel

Through the years, Paul’s description rings true. God forms the earthen vessel for a purpose.

To display His truth. Reveal His glory.

When I am afraid

“When I am afraid, I will trust in You, I will trust in You, I will trust in You….In God whose Word I praise.”

Steve Green’s “Hide ‘Em in Your Heart” recording of Scripture songs for children played often in our home. But this particular song was on repeat in my mind. On my lips.

Even after the kids were in bed fast asleep.
