Verse of the day: The ugly, thin cows ate the seven beautiful and large cows (Genesis 41. 4).

Verse of the day: But he, leaving his clothes in his hands, ran away (Genesis 39. 12). When we struggle with certain sins, there is no other way to gain victory than to escape.

Verse of the day: A voice of weeping will never be heard in it again (Isaiah 65:19). The glorified do not cry anymore, because all the causes of lamentation have disappeared.
