"But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither…" ~ Psalm 1:2-3a"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season…" ~ 2 Timothy 4:2a
