PSALM 106:8 – Yet He saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make known his mighty power.” Often in the Christian life, we need a work of “spiritual calibration.” What I mean is the reminder that the Bible begins with “In the beginning God”, not “In the beginning man” (Genesis 1:1) pointing us to remember everything is all about Him.…
