Psalm 9:1

This morning I read Psalm 9:1.  I will praise Thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all Thy marvelous works.  That’s about as far as I got because I really had to stop and dwell on the words. 
with my whole heartI need to improve in the area of praising Him, but with my
                                                        whole heart?  Now there’s a challenge.  When was the last
                                                        time I thought about pouring myself out solely for Him,
                                                        reserving nothing for me?
            show forth all Thy marvelous works” – in my words I say that I am going to do
                                                                                             exactly this but frequently my actions are
                                                                                             more about me than Him.  It is so easy to
                                                                                             get up in ourselves and miss what He is
                                                                                             doing!  Forgive us, Lord!
So we all know that God always surprises us in the way He works . . . well, I know very little Spanish, yet today in church each of the first 3 songs were speaking of praising (alabanza) Him and His works (obras) – 2 words that I know!  I always sing along, but this time I was able to sing of what I had been reading that morning and truly praise Him for it!
Speaking of His marvelous works . . . we had a college student get saved today!!!  Luz lives near the new director of the school and they invited her to come to church several weeks ago even though they speak little Spanish and she even less English.  She came and has been coming.  I had the opportunity to go to lunch with them all last Sunday and meet her.  Today she came to church and after a powerful message from Titus 3 accepted Christ!!
God is good all the time . . . all the time God is good!
