Thanksgiving in my heart!

Just wanted to praise the Lord. Six months ago today, He flat-out amazed me. I mean, His creation is beyond description and His grace and salvation cannot be touched. But He answered such a huge request that day - a Sunday in early September. I just wanted to remember that day here and say "Thank you, Father."

Here is part of a psalm I found just now. It mixes thankfulness with encouragement for these trying days. Many people in the world are losing their jobs, houses, savings and things look really bleak. I hope this passage will lift your spirits and that God will speak to your heart and give you hope.


Psalm 34

¹ I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.

² My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

³ Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.

⁴ I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.

⁵ Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.

⁶ This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.

⁷ The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

⁸ Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

⁹ Fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.

¹⁰ The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
