Digging for Gold (1 of 8)
Series: Psalms
Brian Fletcher
Psalm 19:7-14
Gold rush of 1849. Over 300,000 people from around the world descended upon Northern California to search for one of the rarest precious metals on earth. They came digging, panning, and mining for rocks that they thought would give them life through wealth. While a few did strike it rich, most who came, went back home disappointed and broke.

2 Peter 1:21
''For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from G ...
