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

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...
