The verses selected by Selwyn for reading and meditation, are worth a lot of our time, spent – being still, in meditation, before God. Romans 5:1-18 (NLT): “ … When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. Yes, people sinned even before the law was given.
