Create in Me a Clean Heart: The 40-Day Challenge (Psalms)Sample
Give Thanks to the Lord for He Is Good - Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So
Psalm 107
“For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.” Psalm 107:9
The goodness of Yahweh is wonderful! Despite my weaknesses, despite my failures, it persistently seeks me, it blesses me in my helplessness!
With no strength to go on, I cried out to the Lord 30 years ago and He freed me - a burden of anxiety fell away from my soul, and joy entered my heart. I had wanted to change my loved ones. I had been writhing in pain from the traumas experienced in my childhood, and darkness had entered my soul with each new injustice, the rudeness I experienced at the workplace, with each of my thoughtless and stupid reactions...
And then the Lord encouraged me to take my child to the Baptist church at Radićeva 30 for religious education. It took a few months for my heart to soften, for it to open, for my pride to melt, for the fortresses to collapse and for me to thirstily begin to drink the Words of life and enjoy the fellowship of the faithful. “Forever I am changed by Your love” says one song that fills me with joy and gratitude(“Majesty”- the Croatian version is “Divan si”). I know that my sin is forgiven and that Christ has saved me from judgment with his mercy. And how then will I not shout to the Lord with a grateful heart like the psalmist:
“Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!” Psalm 107:31
