Returning Point: Action, ReACTION

Action, ReACTION

**I was very ill yesterday and was unable to place my devo/not really devo post on the internet.

Yesterday, I had a conversation with one of my "Christian" friends at school. His name is Josh. Joshua Leung to be precise. We were at Information Technology class (BTA 3O1) and he told me that Valerie went to church with him on Sunday. He was quite surprised and I was too. Valerie never wanted to go to church. She disliked waking up early in the morning to attend Sunday service and Sunday school. I'm quite happy that she attended church though. Josh told me that he heard about the phone call I made with her that caused her to go to church. She has a lot of questions that she wants answered though. Hopefully I will be able to help her with that. Josh also told me she'll be going to SCBC for worship.

Anyway...why my "header"/"title" is Action, ReACTION because the situation proves that the theory is true. I took action and evangelized and the reaction is where Valerie went to church. I guess there could've been a different and more negative reaction, but I'm happy that she gave the positive reaction. Maybe if I evangelized or put in more action with others, their reactions will too be the same.

Psalm 51

¹ Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
² Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

³ For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
⁴ Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight;
so you are right in your verdict
and justified when you judge.
⁵ Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
⁶ Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

⁷ Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
⁸ Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
⁹ Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.

¹⁰ Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
¹¹ Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

¹³ Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
¹⁴ Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
¹⁵ Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
¹⁶ You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
¹⁷ My sacrifice, O God, is^[b] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.

¹⁸ May it please you to prosper Zion,
to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
¹⁹ Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
in burnt offerings offered whole;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
