Psalm 145:2 (NIV)
2 Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.
Constancy teaches us to be sensitive to their presence, perseverance teaches us to feel with the heart and teaches us to express properly what we feel.

Thursday The sayings of your mouth build bridges "
Psalm 19:14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
