I am a firm believer in being one who gives thanks and praise to God at
every moment that I am able. The Lord's goodness, mercy and love extends
far beyond our own thinking and is made available not for God's benefit,
but for ours. The Lord's love is so great that it is immeasurable. It
reaches from everlasting to everlasting. His wish for our life is to
recognize our shortfalls and our need for Him to be in our lives and more
importantly to be the leader of our lives. Be encouraged to recognize that
you have much to be thankful for. Be quick to give thanks and praise to
God for every gift that you possess. Do not be forgetful of God's goodness,
but rather sing with joy in your heart to the Lord giving praise and thanks
for His sustenance in your life. (Psalm 103:1-5) (Colossians 3:16-17)
I hope this message encourages your heart to see that you too have it
within you to bless the Lord and make known His mighty works in your life.
LET YOUR SOUL SING
The birds are singing again in the mountains of my home. The warm, March
air is carrying dozens of different songs to my delighted ears as I walk
my dogs in the morning. Everywhere I go I can hear the sweet music coming
from my feathered friends in the treetops. This year there are even several
Woodpeckers providing a nice drum section to back up the wonderful choir
of happiness that I am hearing. Every song is such a pleasure to hear.
Each one is special. Each one is full of joy. Each one is full of love.
Each one is full of life. All of them are blending together as well into
one glorious song of thanks to God. Spring may look like sunshine and smell
like flowers, but in my ears it will always sound like birdsong.
My little singers are helping me to remember something very important as
well. They are reminding me that I still have my own song to sing in this
world. I still have a lot of joy left to spread. I still have a lot of
love left to share. I still have a lot of life left to live. I still have
a lot of goodness and oneness with God left to give to everyone I meet. I
don’t want to die full of regret because my music was still inside of me.
I may just be one, little bird singing in this vast world, but I am going
to keep chirping away. I know that if you take away just one bird the song
of life becomes less. I know too that if you add just one more singer this
glorious song becomes so much more. I will be happy then to be a part of
God’s choir of joy here on Earth until I can join God’s choir of joy in Heaven.
In everything you say and in everything you do let your heart and soul sing
with love, joy, and oneness with God. Make your own life a beautiful song
that brings happiness to the ears of the world. Sing like a bird on the
first day of Spring. Sing like an Angel on her first day in Heaven. Sing
and invite all you know to join in the music.

Read and meditate on these scriptures:
Psalm 104:33-34 “I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of Him shall be
sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.”
Psalm 138:1-3 “I will praise Thee with my whole heart: before the gods will
I sing praise unto Thee. I will worship toward Thy Holy temple, and praise
Thy name for Thy lovingkindness and for Thy truth: for Thou hast magnified
Thy word above all Thy name. In the day when I cried Thou answeredst me,
and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.”
Psalm 145:10-13 “All Thy works shall praise Thee, O LORD; and Thy saints
shall bless Thee. They shall speak of the glory of Thy kingdom, and talk
of Thy power; To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the
glorious majesty of His kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and Thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.”
Psalm 37:3-6 “Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the
land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and
He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the
LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring
forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.”
All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
