And 2. an immoderate attachment or devotion to something in the place of God. D. L. Moody put it this way: “Whatever you love more than God is your idol. Rich and ...read more

David bares his soul in recording his relationship with God - who Forgives, who Heals, who Preserves, who Provides and who Satisfies.
