Psalm 145 resonates with me, as it should, in that I start every morning by praying it. Recall the acronym “ACTS”, or Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication, Psalm 145 covering the “A” and the “T”.

Do y’all think we are a happier people today in this country ? Do you think it is trending consistently with the passing of time to the present day ? And why might that be? Related: I prefer the word “joyful” here. Have you ever met a pagan leftist, future christian that he or she may be, that strikes you as “joyful”? Compare and contrast the following word meanings: pleasure, happiness, joy, and share your answer.
Soli Deo Gloria!
