Good Reminder from the Psalms

Monday morning devotion is not only a time to reflect and worship, but a time to get to know my colleagues. In that I am grateful for those early Monday meetings! This week I chose the devotion from Psalms 121. For me it is a reminder that the Lord is my creator, leader, keeper, hands and feet, and preserver. This time of year, I think that is a good reminder! Read Psalm 121 >>> Blessings, Gidget Leonard ES
