My mouth shall speak the praise of
the Lord and all my flesh shall bless
His holy name forever and ever.
Psalm 145:21
I must confess that the past several weeks have been difficult for me...
the Lord and all my flesh shall bless
His holy name forever and ever.
Psalm 145:21
I must confess that the past several weeks have been difficult for me...
The noise level in the building I live in (D-North) has been nearly intolerable. This makes activities such as writing and reading very hard to do. The result of all this is that not only is my body left drained of strength and feeling "shell shocked (for want of a better description)," but I've fallen behind with my journal writing, correspondence and Bible studies. Meanwhile, my body is in a state of continual teeth-clenched tension, and this is not good.
Yet, through this ordeal, I am trying to train myself to speak the praises of the Lord. I don't want my mouth to speak negative things. Nor do I want my mind to see the bad side of the situation. Therefore, the Holy Spirit has been reminding me to focus on Christ and the victory He gives to help the Christian be victorious in times of suffering. As the Scripture says in Psalm 145, my mouth shall praise my God and my King. His name is wonderful because He is wonderful.*
D.B.
*See Isaiah 9:6-7.
