May 2012
The message for this month is about" You Say / God Says." We want to bring you a word that God put in our hearts on what you would say and what God says in His Holy Word. May God bless this message and bless those that read it.
No matter what we may be going through or what the circumstances are in our daily lives there is an answer to our questions if we will trust in God and His word the Holy Bible. The scripture references in the right column from the Book of Isaiah chapter 55 vereses 6 thru 13 says it all to me. I use these scriptures very often when the test and valleys come my way. May they give you hope and help always.
