Psalm 22:22
“I will declare Your name to my brothers; in the congregation I will praise You.”
Over the years of my walk with the Lord, I have heard many expressions of praise. Some of them were directed directly to the Lord, but I fear, unfortunately, that some were for show.
In one church that we attended, there was a lady who remained silent most services, but when a visiting minister came to the church, she would put on quite a show of praising and waving her handkerchief. It was so apparent that we all knew when she was going to put on her display.
In contrast was our visit to the Billy Graham School of Evangelism. There was an elderly pastor in attendance who had a spirit that impressed all of us. When he was moved by a song or some truth that was being presented, he would shout; “My! My! My!” His sincere expression was a sheer delight.
At the concluding session he was called upon to come forward to pronounce the closing benediction. It was a blessed and sweet prayer that revealed that he was talking directly to his Savior. As he concluded, the several hundred pastors, wives and staff members reverberated; “MY! MY! MY!”
I am sure that by this time the dear saint is with his Lord. I look forward to meeting him once more in glory and as we view the sights of heaven we will say together; “MY! MY! MY!” Will you join us?
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
