IN THE MORNING!

“But I will sing about your strength; every morning I will sing aloud of your constant love.You have been a refuge for me, a shelter in my time of trouble.” (Psalm 59:16 Good News Translation) When I read the verse above, I was just going to focus on reminding you to sing to the Lord in the sanctuary in the morning, Sunday.
