Here it is, “Those who love Your law have great peace; Nothing makes them stumble.” (Psalm 119:165, AB).

In 2 Kings 4, though things were so bad for the widow, she had an exception! Notice that she said she had nothing “except” a small jar of oil. God is going to use what comes after the “except.” “I have nothing except this small talent and a little training.

When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life” (Proverbs 6:20-23). Remember, you are a child of…
