Bible verse of the day
The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors; may he not leave us or abandon us.Random Bible Verse
Though the fig tree does not blossom,and no fruit is on the vines;
though the produce of the olive fails
and the fields yield no food;

and there is no herd in the stalls,

I will exult in the God of my salvation.Next verse!With image
