"Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies."
—Psalms 5:8
Evening Thought
Very bitter is the enmity of the world against the people of Christ. Men will forgive a thousand faults in others, but they will magnify the most trivial offence in the followers of Jesus. Instead of...

"I will sing of mercy and judgment."
