February 4 You shall never return that way again. - Deuteronomy 17:16 If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return.

Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. - Hebrews 11:15-16   He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
