Psalm 66:3-4 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!” So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name.” A favorite song of Christians everywhere is “Our God Is An Awesome God” as it speaks…
Psalm 33:21 “In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.” Through the centuries mankind has put its trust in many things dealing with might and with things under human control.
