I stayed in the United States as a manager, rather than a father, to help 'Gihom' prepare for the medical licensing exam. (March-April 2023) At that time, I was moved by the song 'Way maker' and played it every morning when Gihom woke up. He started his daily exam preparation routine by listening to this song and meditating on its lyrics.
Today, after finishing the writing of Psalm 150, I listened to the song 'Way maker' and looked up the composer. Her name was 'Sinach', a CCM gospel singer-songwriter from Nigeria, Africa. She said that she was moved by the Holy Spirit to compose this song, embracing the divided country of South Korea, which is on the other side of the world. It is amazing to see how the Holy Spirit's inspiration can be conveyed to God's children who live with the same heart, even though they live in different times and spaces.
That's why I've been listening to this song whenever I need the Holy Spirit. Now I understand why.
Lord, thank you for the Holy Spirit's inspiration given to the composer in Africa, and for its transmission to South Korea and the 'True Way' community family that you love.
As I finish writing Psalm 150 today, I thank you for showing me how you work through the same Holy Spirit.

Psalm 150:1~6
(The Responsive Readings 66)
Q. Psalm begins with 'Blessed is the man' in chapter 1 and ends with 'Let everything that breathes praise the Lord' in chapter 150. This could be considered the main theme of the entire book of Psalms.
Psalms contains the emotions of many poets, and we have looked at the poet's songs filled with tears, despair, sighing, and joyful joy, hope, grace, and love. Now, in this chapter, which concludes the main section of Psalms, a magnificent scene of heavenly worship unfolds. Let's learn about it.
A. Hallelujah (Praise the Lord). Praise him in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. (Psalm 150:1)
Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. (Psalm 150:2)
The Lord who is in great glory (Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme, Theme: Praise, New Hymn 20, Psalm 150:2)
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. (Psalm 150:3)
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. (Psalm 150:4)
Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. (Psalm 150:5) (Colossians 3:16, 17)
Colossians 3
16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
17. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Hallelujah (Praise the Lord). (Psalm 150:6)

(Postscript)
I'm crying uncontrollably as I listen to this song right now.
I dare to think that the Holy Spirit is grieving as she watches the tribulations that South Korea and the Korean people must endure in order to exert a positive influence on the world (forced annexation by Japan, division and conflict between North and South Korea due to the Korean War, and social conflicts resulting from these aftershocks). She is using me to shed tears.
But at the same time, I am truly proud because it seems like she is giving a message of hope for the future, a promise that she will bring light out of darkness.
Therefore, I hope that the 'True Way' family and their children will remember this message, even if they live as strangers anywhere in the world and even if they experience difficult and painful times. If they live as faithful children of the promised Lord, I expect that they will not be ashamed and will do great things in the future.
Lord, take care of and guide these children.
Praying for His guidance
