WAIT UPON THE LORD
(Isaiah 40:31)
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isa 40:31).

In this article I share brief facts of the case and some lessons learnt. Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVII : 37”
