Song

Psalms 40:3, 95:1, 105; Isaiah 42:10, Ephesians 5:19, James 5:13

Not everyone sings for the blessing and enjoyment of others. However, if they are believers they have a song in their hearts. A song that praises and gives thanks to the Lord for His many blessing. However, it is easy for one to become so overcome with the challenges of daily life, family, friends, physical pain, and loneliness that the song is no longer heard. The evangelist of days gone by, Vance Havner wrote, “sometimes your best song comes in the darkest hour.” As age creeps up on a person, often the pains that come with it seem to take the song out of one’s life and it is replaced with murmurings and disputing that the Apostle Paul reminds us are not to be in the life of a believer (Philippians 2:14). Maybe one needs to get alone with God and be reminded of all the wonderful blessings they have had in life and the song is heard again. It must have been that way for H.G. Spafford as he wrote, “It is well with my soul” reminding himself and others that God knows and does what is best. It would be well to take a few moments now and quietly sing the song that God has placed in your soul and thank Him for the joy that only He can give. It is much better to go about each day “singing” the song of God than being a murmuring, complaining, and frustrated person. One good example is the one we used to sing as children, “this little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.”
