From Louis Haak, Associate Pastor, The Church at Tree Lake, cell 715-9200

Daily Scripture Reading:    

Psalm 34: 1 I will bless the LORD at all times;
         His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
 2 My soul shall make its boast in the LORD;
         The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
 3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
         And let us exalt His name together.          
 4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me,
         And delivered me from all my fears.
 5 They looked to Him and were radiant,
         And their faces were not ashamed.
 6 This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him,
         And saved him out of all his troubles.
 7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him,
         And delivers them.  NKJV

Many of us have never been taught the rules of relationships - we will rediscover the lost art of loving one another. All of us long to live with an eternal perspective that changes not only the way we see ourselves but the world around us. For more information see Leora Howell. Thanks! Leora Howell
