Psalm 19 is an amazing Psalm. As many are; however, this one really hit well at the heart of Gods word being authoritative, sound, reliable, & transformative. My response, "let the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord my Rock & my redeemer," Psalm 19:14

Our work is not to save souls, but to disciple them. Salvation and sanctification are the work of God’s sovereign grace, and our work as His disciples is to disciple others’ lives until they are totally yielded to God. Oswald Chambers
