Passion for Praise: 'You Satisfy Every Living Thing!'

Wednesday, August 13, 2003

The Lord always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.
— Psalm 145:13-16
