Gift of a Song



"I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search." - Psalm 77:6



Dear Friends,

I have been reflecting on the the many songs over the years that have touched my soul.  As I type I am listening to Donald Vail and the  Choraleers - "He Decided to Die."  

"He would not come down from the cross to save Himself.  He decided to die just to save me."

The song tells the story of how people came from miles around to see Jesus as he hung on the cross. They taunted him.  They said to him if you are really who you say you are come down and save yourself.  We know from the biblical account that Jesus did not respond to the ridicule.  He kept His Word.  He had a mission to fulfill.   I listen to the soloist reminding her audience that if Jesus had left the cross our souls would still be lost.  She repeats this thought and goes up and octave just in case the listeners missed it the first time.

Songs, there are many that instruct us in the night season.  There are Psalms put to music:  "The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear."  There are the hymns set to music such as Down at the Cross.  "Alas and did my Savior bleed and did my Sovereign die. Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as I."  There are the gospel chart breakers that prompt us to "Imagine"  what it will be like when we are in the presence of the Lord in Heaven.

God has given each of us a song, a melody.  There is a little tune that the Holy Spirit calls to remembrance to instruct and inspire, sometimes even in the night.  Meditation on these melodies is sweet.  It is a time of sweet communion between you and the Lord.

"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;" - Ephesians 5:19
  • Praise God from whom all blessings flow
  • Praise Him creatures here below
  • Praise Him above ye heavenly host
  • Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost
in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
