Now, then, and always.

Now.

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see... By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going." ~Hebrews 11:1, 8

Then.

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." ~Proverbs 31:8-9

"Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of Mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian." ~1892 Supreme Court

Always.

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." ~Proverbs 16:9

"If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand." ~Psalms 37: 23-24

This is the course I have chosen. Lord, determine my steps.
