Ears Open; Mouth Shut

Do Not Settle
Now all glory to God who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to do exceedingly abundantly more than we would ever dare to ask, hope or dream for. Ephesians 3:20 Adapted
Slippery Places
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. Proverbs 4:14-15 NIV He who would not fall down should not walk in slippery places.
