"I have kept the Lord always before me, because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
Psalm 16:8
May this listing of some of the attributes of God encourage and shape you as they have me. How will we keep them in front of our eyes and minds so they can keep working on our thinking and framing our actions in the future? May the goodness of our God straighten our crookedness and heal our brokenness as we help others discover the same.
