Job 12: How can I be more alive hour by hour to the significance of my soul being in the very palm of God's hand, his fingers around me (verse 10)?
Ephesians 1:15-23. As politics intensify on this Labor Day and the days to come, what will keep me mindful of the headship of Jesus Christ over all things?
