Psalms 35:9
Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord
and delight in his salvation.
and delight in his salvation.
Don M. from Mexia, TX said:
To me, it is important to note that the Lord's salvation was sought throughout the Bible. Those who love Him have always looked to Him for salvation, and He did provide a glorious salvation through His Son. It is also interesting to note that this particular chapter uses the term "Angel of the Lord" on more than one occasion. There are many Bible scholars who believe that this term was referring to Christ (pre-incarnate).

"There is no God."
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
Don M. from Mexia, TX said:
Once again, it is so hard to pick one verse. However, I chose this one because atheism is perhaps my greatest frustration. I worry about the lost, and an atheist, in my experience, is the toughest to reach. They seem to be almost perfectly inoculated from the Word. To them, the Law has no meaning, and the Cross offers them nothing... very frustrating.
