Writing Psalm 58-59
Good morning… The joy of singing. When I was younger I use to sing random songs that I made up in the moment. I would sing about cleaning, about the kids being crazy, about gardening. It didn’t matter what I was doing I could sing about it. As time went on, I slowing quit singing. I didn’t even realize I had stopped. Lately, as my body has begun to heal itself, I have found myself singing again around the house, silly songs made up in the moment. I am so glad that I am doing it again. A joyous sound that I didn’t even notice I was missing. (It made me smile when I heard my daughter doing this recently.)
As I read and write David’s words, I imagine him singing all the time.
“But I will sing of your strength: I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
Psalm 59:16-17
For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.
O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love.”
Singing is such an emotional thing. It can bring joy, tears, love, and even pain. Let me be like David and share my moments with God through singing.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!
