Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
Psalm 139:23-24, ESV
On our own, we are woefully inadequate to accomplish true good, let alone alone save ourselves from our sin.
Our true peace is found in letting God show us our need for Him and His cleansing, saving work.
As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.

God’s Word rejuvenates the soul, increases wisdom, and guides us to salvation through Jesus Christ. Seek and trust our Savior above all else.

Psalm 19:9-10, ESV
We begin fearing the One whonwill judge our souls, then we stand in awe of His love, grace, mercy, and power.
