On-Line Exercises

Whenever I mention to the people attending one of my conferences or spiritual exercise seminars that we are all going to write a psalm, a look of horror appears on a number of faces.  Looks that express ‘You will never get me to do that’ and ‘Well, that’s it, I may as well give up now’ are common.  However, if people take the plunge and decide to go for it, then they discover that writing a psalm is a new and exciting way of putting their thoughts and feelings about God on paper.

The first time we did this exercise in Heartbeat, I felt exactly the same.  The fact that people who wrote music surrounded me did not add to my confidence!  However, when I put pen to paper and concentrated on my ‘heavenly Dad’, a great explosion of praise happened within me and I just wrote down what I was feeling.  It doesn’t need to rhyme, or have fancy or flowery words.  It just needs to convey your love for God in a way that reflects your personality.

This week’s EXERCISE

Find a place in your busy day where you are not going to be disturbed for 15 minutes or so.  Listen to Track 1 of my CD ‘A God Encounter’ and then out of that experience write a psalm of praise to God whilst in God’s throne room.  May God so fill your heart with His joy and bring you closer to knowing Him. 

If you want to do further exercises you can purchase my book which will take you further in your walk with God.  My book is called Nancy Goudie’s Spiritual Health Workout and costs £6.99.  You can purchase this on-line.  Join me next week for another exciting exercise.  Keep praising our amazing God!
