Grace and peace this Easter Day!

"Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I." (Isaiah 58: 8-9 NIV)

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." (Psalm 91: 1-2)

"May your deeds be shown to your servants,

May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;

yes, establish the work of our hands." (Psalm 90: 16-17)
