Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Psalm 43-45 Devotional Thought: It is easy to sing after victories in our Christian lives or after things have worked out well.

Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Psalm 35-37; Acts 17 Devotional Thought: Paul admonishes us that to compare ourselves among ourselves, this is not wise.
