God is mighty, but he does not despise anyone! . . .He does not let the wicked live but gives justice to the afflicted.He never takes his eyes off the innocent,But he sets them on thrones with kings and exalts them forever.If they are bound in chains and caught up in a web of trouble, he shows them the reason…He gets their attention and commands that they turn from evil.If they listen and obey God...  Read More
