1 Samuel 2:2-9
Last month Lori gave me this Scripture.
Nothing and no one is holy like GOD, no rock mountain like our God.
Don't dare talk pretentiously -- not a word of boasting, ever!
For GOD knows what's going on.
He takes the measure of everything that happens.
The weapons of the strong are smashed to pieces, while the weak are infused with fresh strength.
The well-fed are out begging in the streets for crusts, while the hungry are getting second helpings.
The barren woman has a houseful of children, while the mother of many is bereft.
GOD brings death and GOD brings life, brings down to the grave and raises up.
GOD brings poverty and GOD brings wealth; he lowers, he also lifts up.
He puts poor people on their feet again; he rekindles burned-out lives with fresh hope,
Restoring dignity and respect to their lives -- a place in the sun!
For the very structures of earth are GOD's; he has laid out his operations on a firm foundation.
He protectively cares for his faithful friends, step by step
