Thought for the day:

For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,
who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly,
and to revive the heart of the contrite."
Isaiah 57:15

What we're listening to for inspiration:

Holy Forever
