Bible verse of the day
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.Random Bible Verse
Though the fig tree may not blossom,Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.Next verse!With image
