Sing a Song!


"The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing."  - Isaiah 14:7

Dear Friends,

 I love to sing. I love listening to beautiful songs, songs that add value to life and are thought provoking.  My favorite is gospel music.

 When I read Isaiah 14:7, I thought, just as the earth when it is at rest and is quiet, is graced with singing, so am I.  In the morning the birds get things started and break into song.  Different "notes" from different birds.  The blue jay holds his own, the sparrow is not shy.  The birds just sing.

 I love breaking out with a song.  Usually though there is no one around for my impromptu concerts. Yet, God hears me.  In the midst of the quiet and depending on the leading of the Holy Spirit, I might sing: "Shine on me. Shine on me. I wonder if the lighthouse will shine on me."  Getting inspired I might roll into: "This ain't no ordinary worship.  This ain't no ordinary song."  Well, my mind starts to go down memory lane. "Through it all. Through it all. I've learned to trust in Jesus. I've learned to trust in God."

 Sing a song! "Whenever you are tempted to fret or complain, think of His goodness to you."  Don't concern yourself with whether you can carry a tune. Sing a song! "Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me."  Sing a song! "I sing because I'm happy. I sing because I'm free."  

 Sing a song!  Burdens will lift.  Tears may flow.  You may start shouting.  Sing a song.  A song is the garment of praise.  It is the remedy for a heavy spirit.

 Go on now.  I hear you. Sing a song!

 God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
