Walked in heavy rain through the scheme yesterday to the point where the North Sea meets the River Ness. And when I got there the sky cleared, and God’s war bow lit up the sky.

He is still mighty to save. He provides everything His people need. He delights in hearing and answering His people. He will build … Continue reading December 30, 2020 →
