Finding the Joy

"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit." Psalm 51

Danica exhorted us this morning; she reminded us to find the joy of our salvation - even if the month has been hard, even if the situation is overwhelming and our souls are downcast. And I knew the Lord was reminding me to find that joy even in the midst of some personal turmoil.

"Oh, yeah," I thought. "Don't dwell in the sorrow that you feel deep in your soul. Put away the remorse and guilt. Remember forgiveness that is yours, redemption that He brings to all things. Rejoice that your life is in His hand. He has made all things and He is good."

Sometimes we need to speak to our own souls. David did. I am no better.

It was a worthwhile reminder that she gave to us. Such a great salvation is always worth remembering.

    Hi Mrs. Sinclair.
    I have a cousin out in Minnesota who loves the Lord. She recently shared with me that while she and her husband have been 'waiting' to have children, this is strictly her idea and not his. When she asked my thoughts on this, I shared the obvious about God wanting us to be Hepers-Completers for our husbands and such, but I was wondering...do you think that book that you mentioned on your site, A FULL QUIVER, would be appropriate in this situation? I would love to suggest it to her, but I couldn't find a description of it anywhere. What do you think? Thanks so much.
