rather than relying on your own intelligence.

and he will see that your paths are straight. - In peace I lie down and sleep,
for only with your help, O Lord,
can I rest secure.
Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword.The Lord is slow to anger but great in power,
and he will never allow the guilty
to escape punishment.
He makes his way in whirlwind and storm,
and the clouds are the dust beneath his feet. The Lord will protect you against all evil;
he will watch over your life.
The Lord will watch over your coming and your going
both now and forevermore.Next verse!With image
