O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon His name: make known His deeds among the people.
Psalm 105:1
With all the difficult days I experienced last month, the Lord knows how to put joy in my heart...
Psalm 105:1
With all the difficult days I experienced last month, the Lord knows how to put joy in my heart...
He knows how to make me dance and sing, and to rejoice in His goodness.
Today being Sunday, I made my way to the chapel for our morning worship service. A minister from the outside, who comes here every first Sunday of each month, gave his message after my chaplain spoke and our choir sung their anointed songs of praise.
At the end of his message, when Minister Carrington gave the altar call, three men came forward to receive prayer and to repent of their sins and ask Christ into their heart. I always love moments like this. Yet today was very special. Out of these three men, one was a new man who arrived at this prison within the past week. I don't know much about him yet, but I will get to know him better in time. However, the other two men have been at this facility for at least several years each. One is a practicing Jew, the other a Muslim, whom I had always seen going to the mosque just about every day.
All the brothers in our assembly were thrilled to see a Jew and a Muslim coming forward to publicly receive Jesus as their Savior. This was a great victory! And there was surely joy in heaven among the angels.
Afterwards, I joined the rest of the congregation to give each of these new Christians a big hug to welcome them into God's family. This has been a happy day for me.
