November Thought #17

 Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's willful you in Christ Jesus.

November Thought #16

November Thought #15

 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 highly to be praised,

And His greatness is unsearchable.

November Thought #12

 Though the fig tree should not blossom

And there be no fruit on the vines,

Though the yield of the olive should fail

And the fields produce no food,

Though the flock should be cut off from the fold

And there be no cattle in the stalls,

Yet I will exult in the LORD,

I will rejoice in the God oft y salvation.

The Lord God is my strength,

And He has made my feet like hinds' feet,

And makes me walk on my high places.

                                Habakkuk 3:17-19
