“The most powerful weapon for silencing the mouth of the world is not brilliant theological apologetics, but the practice of a holy life that resembles Jesus Christ.” “Now it happened, as Jesus went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him closely. And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy. And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, ‘Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?’ But they kept silent. And He took him and healed him, and let him go. Then He answered them, saying, ‘Which of you, having a donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?’ And they could not answer Him regarding these things” (Luke 14:1–6).

When my soul is weary
within me
When my soul was weary within me, I cried out to
God in distress (Ps. 107:5-6).
I resisted God's word and despised the counsel
of the Most High (v. 11).
Folly led me to follow the path of rebellion and
commit iniquity (v. 17),
so God afflicted me with suffering to humble my
heart (v. 12).
In times of despair, when there was no one to
help me up (v. 12),
I cried out to God in my pain and distress (vv. 13,
19, 28).
During those moments, God sent His word to heal
me (v. 20),
rescued me from trouble and danger (vv. 6, 13,
19, 20),
guided me out of my distress (vv. 14, 28), and
led me on the right path (v. 7).
God calmed the storms of my life, bringing peace
and tranquility (v. 29).
God satisfies the longing soul and fills the
hungry soul with goodness (v. 9).
Therefore, I will praise God for His
lovingkindness
and the miracles He has performed in my life (vv.
8, 15, 21, 31).
