random thought we hadn't gotten to blog yet: guidance = God, u and i dance. :) from pastor jireh during his last dcfc visit.
"Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.
Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.
Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name."
[ 1 chronicles 29:11-13 ]
"They will celebrate your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your righteousness."
