“Her house is the way to Sh’ol (Hell); it leads down to the halls of death.”

“My heart clings to You; Your right hand supports me.”

So let’s make the right choice to follow after God!

Today, more than ever, we need to be watching, praying and then be in His Word to understand and know what to do!
