     | 4,871 views

    Encouragement is something that you must build yourself with. You do not have to live in a world of hurt and doubt. You don’t have to live alone. You don’t have to weep in solitude.

But I want to bring out some things in that chapter for a very specific reason because of what the Lord expects of us. Let’s begin with verse one. (1) Now after the death of Moses the ...read more
