Be Glad in the Lord
Search for the Lord and be filled with gladness. And why not? Shouldn’t those who love His salvation be glad in the Lord?
Psalms
The Book of Psalms is a collection of 150 ancient songs. King David wrote many of them (that is, songs).
There are many different subjects. Many Psalms are glad songs which praise God. Others are sad prayers. Some explain that God will rescue us from our troubles. And some are about the history of Israel. Chapter 119 is about the Bible. In Chapter 51, David confesses an evil deed. The Psalmist in Chapter 22 describes how Jesus would suffer. The second one tells us that God will rule the world and chapter 1 teaches that we must love God.
The Psalms are a very special part of the Bible. We can learn many things about God from their beautiful words. They are in the Bible’s Old Testament.

Give God Thanks With All Of Your Heart
