Psalm 145:1-5
I will extol You, my God, O King;
And I will bless Your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless You,
And I will praise Your name forever and ever.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
And His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.
I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
And on Your wondrous works.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
How important are strong family ties? Most of us would agree that they are very important; crucial to the emotional health and well being of all.
As important as they are though, nothing is stronger than the ties that bind us through faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, even if one comes from a dysfunctional family, as many do, we can experience the love and unity of the family of believers, to which all of of belong.
Praise God for the friend who sticks closer than a brother!
(Proverbs 18:24)
God Bless You!
