Bible Verse of the Week

by Samson Dubina on Sun, 2017-03-12 05:41
Psalm 139

 
 
 
 
In these 2 verses, the Psalmist is giving glory to God for life.  As I sit back and picture what God has done in my life, I am overflowing with gratitude to God for giving me many many many things - for creating me, for giving me life, for sustaining my life, for giving me Christ who saved me from my sins, for giving me the Holy Spirit that guides me, and for giving me the Bible in my own language that I can read and understand the truth.
 
Psalm 139:13-14
For You formed my inward parts;

About 90% of players have developed the bad habit of hitting a good shot then just ASSUMING that it won’t be returned. Starting today, you must force yourself to be disciplined in thinking that all of your serves, flips, loops, smashes, and all other shots will be returned. No early celebration!
