Then Sings My Soul - Cries Of The Heart From The PsalmsVoorbeeld

Psalm 138:4 

All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Yahweh, when they have heard the words of your mouth, and they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, because Yahweh’s glory is great.

I can’t thank You enough for all that You are, oh God! Others may applaud many things and aspire for status, wealth and influence, but You hold the utmost value in my heart. In gratitude, I bow before You, humbled by Your binding commitment of love for me. Every nation will hear how great You are and none will be able to keep quiet for all the wonders that You have done. Your leaders are preserved amid every trouble and You deal with their opposition. You bring us to the end with our best in mind, loving us all the way.

Application: What is your story in this season?

Every single one of us has a story that God is writing within the context of our lives. Even in what might be a challenging chapter, He is speaking and moving and you are hearing, seeing and experiencing His presence with you. What title would you give to this chapter of life that you are in? What have been some of the high and low points you’ve experienced? How might God use this part of your story to show someone else who He is? 

Kids tip: Ask the kids to make up a story, telling others about what is happening in their lives right now. Who might want to hear their story? And what in their story might point someone to knowing God more?
