Monday, December 01, 2008 @ 12:56 am Psalms 100 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. What attributes of God do you see in this Psalms? Creator, Shepherd, worthy of praises and adoration, good, loving, faithful. To me, the attribute of God that strikes me the most is His love. His enduring love. In this time of toughness, it reminds me that God still loves me and loves me so much to let me go through this tough time to be moulded and shaped. To learn a life lesson(s) from this. To teach me something. That He also loves me so much that He would see me through this tough time. That's the comfort I get and the lesson I learn. And it isn't the first time He's reminding me of His love. So I believe He is speaking to me and telling me this. Psalms 42:5-6a Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God.
May I be able to praise God soon. Cast aside your sadness, emptiness and emo-ness. Find refuge in God and not in activities. Don't give up, Sharon. Press on. Find meaning to life in God. It's not the end of life. Radiate from within once again, anchoring your faith and heart in Him. Put aside your dull face and sad heart. Persevere. --------------------------------- |
