Psalm 33.16-19

The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His steadfast love, that He may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.

Lord, as we work out all the impediments required to set up a non-profit, help us to keep in mind that that this effort will only bring You glory to the extent that we fear You and trust in Your steadfast love. Even though its purpose is to enable us to work with kings and their great armies of bureaucrats and their warhorses of regulations, they are not the hope of our salvation; You are. Likewise, O Lord, bless and guide all who take up ministry in Your Name today, and every day.
