Psalm by Psalm - Psalm 66

A Song for Christmas: Come and See What God Has Done

“Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind!”
(Ps 66:5)

Christmas invites us into wonder. Not the fleeting sparkle of lights or the rush of activity, but a deeper awe—the kind that makes us pause, breathe, and worship. Psalm 66 is a call to that very posture: Come and see.

The psalmist urges God’s people to:

Quotes by Darci J. Steiner  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“How can we know what forgiveness is until we have been utterly broken by our sin?”
Darci J. Steiner, Study Guide for Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering

“Would you believe me if I told you we can suffer and experience joy at the same time? Have you felt delight even while your muscles are burning during a climb? Is elation felt alongside the pains of childbirth? Can a mountain be simultaneously majestic and rugged? Joy and suffering can coexist in the same space: they can be experienced together.”
Darci J. Steiner, Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering

“Enduring suffering can become a gift because it is an opportunity for us to grow from who we are into who God intends for us to become.”
Darci J. Steiner, Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering

“Pain and imperfections in our lives do not equal a lack of love from God. Instead, they reveal , at the right time, a divine and perfect purpose packed with love.”
Darci J. Steiner, Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering

“Enduring suffering can become a gift because it is an opportunity for us to grow from who we are into who God intends for us to become.”
Darci J. Steiner, Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering

“How can we know what forgiveness is until we have been utterly broken by our sin?”
Darci J. Steiner, Study Guide for Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering

“All of us are broken. We come from broken families with broken hearts, and we grieve broken dreams. We are broken up with and have breakdowns. We barely break even or are flat broke. Our bones break, and our spirits break. Our houses get broken into, and our skin breaks out. We are broken vessels with a broken compass and no clear direction. We wonder when we will have a breakthrough. Jesus knows brokenness. He understands each brand of brokenness, and he knows our brokenness does not have to be the end of our stories or define us. Life does not end during seasons of brokenness, but it changes us. We can find refuge in the One who broke himself so we can be healed. The benefits of having suffered deliver a superior understanding of the benefits of the cross.”
Darci J. Steiner, Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering

“You cannot understand what you have not experienced.”
