Psalms 40:1-17. If we consider these three voices as windows into the souls of three different men, which is the noblest before God, the fittest companion for Job?

Galatians 3:1-14. How wide-open are the saving arms of Jesus Christ? As wide as those of Jesus himself — and of humanity itself. Anything less would would be to narrow.
