Blessed are the Poor
Isaiah 25:4 KJVAAE [4] For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

Helpful Habits - Good Friday
What are, some of God's, helpful, habits, that he gives us, in, the, Bible? Reflecting. Job, when he had lost everything, reflected on his life.
