and peace should be your goal.

step of the way. He will establish and make your steps firm. If you
should stumble, the Lord will pick you up and carry you. You can rely on Him to

their words will cause you to advance and progress. They are profitable to you,
for they will help you to succeed and prosper. You can be assured that if you
follow these steps, you will not fail, but will be blessed.
