From Memorizing a Psalm to Experiencing God's Presence

When I was a teenager, the first part of God's word I memorized was Psalm twenty-three. Years have passed since that day, and Psalm twenty-three has strengthened my heart in different seasons of life. In the deserts, hardships, and challenges of life, it has been like a river for the desert of my soul, and also in good days, like a sweet song of thanksgiving.

Today I want to talk to you about Hasti's experience. Hasti, who was going through difficult days in her life, was in one of the weekly fellowship meetings where the message was about Psalm twenty-three, and this psalm was like a light that illuminated Hasti's life paths in the darkness. She received new life, fresh hope from God, and decided to memorize this psalm.

Hasti's husband, who is an elderly person and unfortunately has been suffering from addiction for years, one day when Hasti was busy reading and memorizing Psalm twenty-three at home, her husband asked her a question that greatly excited her. Her husband's question was: 'Can I memorize this psalm too?'

And this question was very heartwarming and hopeful for Hasti. I want to invite you to pray together for Hasti's husband, that God may touch his heart and give him new healing and completely transform his life, and finally, witnessing how and in what beautiful ways God's word takes root in hearts and also gives hope, creates a fresh desire to know God, is truly and genuinely encouraging and heartwarming.
