- After finishing the writing of Psalm 150, I happened to listen to the song 'Way Maker' and learned about the songwriter, Nigerian CCM singer 'Sinach'. I was surprised to learn that she received the Holy Spirit's inspiration to embrace a divided Korea when she composed this song.
- The song 'Way Maker' has been a personal source of strength for me, and I am grateful to now know the reason behind it.
- Just as the Holy Spirit's inspiration given to an African composer was passed on to the Republic of Korea and the 'Chamgil' community family, we should continue to live as faithful children of the Lord wherever we live in the world and expect to do great things.
- After writing Psalm 150, I was inspired by the Holy Spirit and listened to the song "Way Maker" and searched for the composer.
- The protagonist is "Sinach," a Nigerian CCM singer and composer.
- She said she gained a deep conviction about "God's guidance and power" before composing the song.
- She was particularly inspired by "God's heart for the divided Korea."

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) I was touched by the song "Way maker" and played it every morning at the time Gihom woke up. He started his daily test preparation by meditating on the lyrics of this song.
Today, after finishing writing Psalm 150, I listened to the song "Way maker" by chance and searched for the composer. The composer's name was 'Sinach,' a CCM gospel singer-songwriter from Nigeria, Africa. She said she was moved by the Holy Spirit to make this song and to embrace the divided country of South Korea on the other side of the world. The Holy Spirit's inspiration can be passed on to children who live with the same meaning in the Lord, even though their time and space are different. It's truly amazing.

That's why I've been listening to this song whenever I need the Holy Spirit. Now I know why.
Lord, thank you for the Holy Spirit's inspiration given to the composer in Africa, and for spreading it to South Korea and the "True Way" community family that you love.
As I finished writing Psalm 150 today, thank you for showing me your work with the same Holy Spirit.

Psalm 150:1~6
(The Responsive Readings 66)
Q. Psalm begins with "Blessed is the man" (Psalm 1:1) and ends with "Let everything that has breath praise the LORD" (Psalm 150:6). This can be said to be the main theme of the entire Psalms.
The Psalms contain the emotions of numerous poets, and we have looked at the poet's songs filled with tears, despair and sighs, and the joy of ecstasy, hope, grace and love. In this chapter, which concludes the grand finale of the Psalms, a magnificent heavenly scene of worship unfolds. Let's take a look at it.
A. Hallelujah (Praise ye 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 in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17. And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all 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 ye the LORD). (Psalm 150:6)

(Postscript)
I cried my heart out listening to this song.
Looking at the hardships that South Korea and the Korean people will have to endure in order to exert a positive influence on the world (forced annexation by Japan, the division and conflict between North and South Korea due to the Korean War, and the social conflicts that result from this aftershock), I dare to think that the Holy Spirit is grieving and using me to shed tears.
However, at the same time, I feel truly proud because it seems like the Holy Spirit is giving a message of hope for the future, a promise to give 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 go through difficult times. If they live as faithful children of the Lord who has promised them, I expect that they will not be ashamed and will do great things in the future.
Lord, please take care of and guide these children.
Praying for God's guidance
