"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
