“I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.” (Psalm 104:33, ESV) Which do you remember best: a song from your childhood or what you had for lunch last week? Probably the song. Music “sticks” in our minds, and…
The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him (Psalm 28:7). Its resonance sweeps through the mind, and in a heart a place it finds. Its intention though…
“Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in, the night his song shall be with me, an my prayer unto the God of my life.” (Psalm 42:8 KJV) The medical world has picked up on something that God has used for a long time; it’s called…
“I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being” (Psalm 104:33, in the King James Version of the Holy Bible).
Singing has always been a part of my life. My sister, Sue, and I harmonized together in church as little girls.
Singing is a mood changer. Go to a nursing home and start singing; feet will start patting and hands start clapping at the sound of music. When I am feeling down I turn on the radio or CD player and listen to songs that will lift my spirit.
When I discovered this verse, it gave me permission to sing to God as long as I live. He loves to hear my song.
Prayer: Lord, You have given me my voice and a good set of lungs so I can praise You in song every day of my life. I want the world to hear me praise Your Holy Name!

“The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.” (Psalms 118:14 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible). Do you know of anybody who sings or hums a whole lot? I just read a quote on a bulletin board that grabbed my attention this morning. John Anglund wrote, “Birds don’t sing because they have an answer – they sing because they have a song.” One of my dear friends suffered with severe panic attacks. It was a horrible experience for her. She found if she would begin singing and quoting scriptures when she felt an attack coming on, the attack would subside quickly. God helped her get through with a song. Now she hums songs almost all day. God puts a song in your heart to be used during stressful times. Keep a song in your heart! You don’t have to have an answer; just a song will do to help you get through.
Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for the song in my heart. When I feel overwhelmed I can reach for it and be encouraged. You are my song!
