PSALM 9:1

“Always be thankful of the things you have and make sure that others know it's all because of God.” (Psalm 9:1)

In today's fast-paced world, Christians often find themselves overwhelmed with various responsibilities and commitments that lead to a lack of mindfulness and gratitude as they rush through tasks and fail to appreciate what they have.

Pastor Dennis Balcome is an amazing missionary residing in Hong Kong and speaks fluent Cantonese and Mandarin. He is able to breakthrough cultural barrier and able to build trust by immersing himself in the local customs and operating within the legal boundaries set by the Chinese government. His survival and success in China's religious landscape is a testament to his perseverance, adaptability, and dedication to his mission.

Today’s Scripture in Psalm 9:1 teaches us the importance of gratitude and praise. It encourages believers to acknowledge and appreciate God's goodness in their lives by sharing their experiences of God's faithfulness with others with the ultimate goal to salvation. 

“People can take everything away from you but can never take away your truth.”
