Praise Him

4/1/2006

 
Let every thing that has breath 
Praise the Lord. Praise Ye the Lord! 
Psalm 150:6


Unbeknown to many there exists multitudes of men and women who praise God Almighty with thankful and grateful hearts from inside the bowels of prisons...
This afternoon, for instance, from 12:45 to 2:45, we were visited by a church group from New York City. Twenty-two members from the Manhattan Grace Tabernacle Church of Harlem were here to worship with us. The music was powerful and our praise was heartfelt. We also received a sermon from their pastor, Reverend Luis Rivera.

Then in the evening we had another minister come who visits us on a regular basis every first Saturday of each month from 6:20 to 8 p.m. These times are set by the prison's administrative staff. Yet once again we had the opportunity to worship the Lord, this time with our own inmate choir.

I of course was inspired and encouraged during both events. I was reminded, too, that the Creator of the Universe cares more about me than I do. The one who has put the stars in place and called each by name, has redeemed and called me out of tremendous spiritual darkness. He has wrapped His loving arms around me and carried me into His marvelous light.

Yes, let every living creature praise the Lord for His goodness, and for the forgiveness Jesus Christ offers to fallen mankind.

D.B.
