The Statutes of the Lord are Trustworthy...

"The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple." This is what Psalm 19:7 says and I believe it's true. The Word of the Lord is dependable, it will guide us as we walk through life. It will help us avoid the dangers that lie in wait. And not only that, the Word of the Lord also reassures us of His promises, that no matter what happens, God is in control and His goodness is always available for those who look for them.

Below are the verses which have leapt off the Bible's pages into my heart. Let me share them with you. Enjoy!
