"For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water." (Jeremiah 2:13 AKJV)

Tuesday, January 2, 2007
"So I gave them up to their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels." (Psalms 81:12 AKJV)

"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication:" (1 Thessalonians 4:3 AKJV)

Saturday, January 6, 2006
"Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit." (Jeremiah 17:7-8 AKJV)
Walking with God has its benefits. Are you walking with God?
