REFLECTION…

.

This is a joyful invitation

to praise the Lord, the shepherd of His people,

and as we do so and pray,

let us gladly sing out to Him

and feel in tune with all those who are praying all over the earth,

exalting the one Lord in so many different languages

and in so many ways.

.

Even in the midst of suffering and pain,

and of problems, difficulties and let-downs,

we must encourage our heavy heart

and set our soul free,

and allow them to acknowledge their Maker

and shout for joy,

worship with gladness,

with joyful songs,

with thanksgiving,

with praise,

and to give thanks to Him and praise His name. .

.

The Lord knows me inside out,

and He relishes my internal joy and gladness in Him,

and will help me bring it to the surface.
