 PSALM 23:1-6 THE SOUL RESTS WHERE DIVINE WISDOM FLOWS PEACEFULLY.   THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD ;  I SHALL NOT WANT. HE MAKETH ME TO  LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES :  HE LEADETH ME  BESIDE THE STILL WATERS .  HE RESTORETH MY SOUL:  HE LEADETH ME IN  THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS  FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.  YEA, THOUGH I WALK  THROUGH  THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW  OF DEATH,  I WILL FEAR NO EVIL:  FOR THOU ART WITH ME;  THY ROD AND THY  STAFF THEY COMFORT ME.  THOU PREPAREST  A TABLE BEFORE ME  IN THE PRESENCE OF  MINE ENEMIES:  THOU ANOINTEST  MY HEAD WITH OIL;  MY CUP RUNNETH OVER .  SURELY  GOODNESS AND MERCY  SHALL FOLLOW ME ALL  THE DAYS OF MY LIFE:  AND  I WILL DWELL  IN  THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOR EVER.  LOVE DIVINE GUIDANCE BEGINS.

MALACHI 3:1-9   BEHOLD, I WILL SEND MY MESSENGER ,  AND HE SHALL PREPARE  THE WAY BEFORE ME:  AND THE LORD,  WHOM YE SEEK,  SHALL SUDDENLY COME  TO HIS TEMPLE,  EVEN THE MESSENGER  OF THE COVENANT ,  WHOM YE DELIGHT IN:   BEHOLD,  HE SHALL COME,  SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS. BUT WHO MAY ABIDE  THE DAY OF HIS COMING?  AND WHO SHALL STAND  WHEN HE APPEARETH?  FOR HE IS LIKE A REFINER'S FIRE ,  AND LIKE FULLERS' SOAP : AND HE SHALL SIT  AS A REFINER  AND PURIFIER OF SILVER:  AND HE SHALL  PURIFY THE SONS OF LEVI ,  AND PURGE THEM  AS GOLD AND SILVER,  THAT THEY MAY OFFER  UNTO THE LORD AN OFFERING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. THEN SHALL  THE OFFERING OF  JUDAH AND JERUSALEM    BE PLEASANT UNTO THE LORD,  AS IN THE DAYS OF OLD,  AND AS IN FORMER YEARS. AND I WILL COME NEAR TO YOU  TO JUDGMENT;  AND I WILL BE  A SWIFT WITNESS AGAINST...

THEN ESTHER THE QUEEN,  THE DAUGHTER OF ABIHAIL,  AND MORDECAI THE JEW,  WROTE WITH ALL AUTHORITY,...
