What’s Your Song?
As I wandered through the woods this morning, I got caught up in a woodland chorus.
An amphitheater made of oak, maple, birch, poplar, ash and evergreen pine and painted in glowing hues of gold, red, orange, brown, russet and green by the Master Craftsman. The participants perched upon their bough.
Each bird species has it’s own unique part that no other in the woodland chorus can sing. Simply it chirps its repetitive song. It does not try to sing another bird’s song, it only sings the songs God created it to sing.
It lives a life of contentment. Content to be an ordinary bird singing it’s God-given song.
A variety of birds, each singing its part in the woodland chorus from their tree top perches. Worship in surround sound.
What’s your song? What has He created You to sing to the world?
Have you ever found yourself discontent with your voice in the symphony of life? Do you find yourself wishing you could “sing” better or perhaps a different song?
Listen to the Lord’s response to your discontent.
I love to hear you sing your praises and your sounds of joy. I am your song, and when you sing, all of creation hums in harmony. Your voice is the instrument I use to stir human souls, but it is your heart that reaches My ear.
There is music in great sounds of joy and jubilation! There is music in the crashing waters, in the sound of wind in the trees. But there is no music as delightful to My ear as the sound of My children; because it is your heart that I most want to hear. It makes My heart glad to hear you because your sounds are pure and true.
My Holy Spirit springs from your spirit in the form of music, and the sounds you make are holy. They refresh and renew your soul; they bless My heart.
Sing to me a new song. Even in diversity, sing to Me. Even in Trials and what you think is your darkest hour, sing to Me. Sing to Me, for I am your Beloved; sing to Me a tender, loving song. I am your song.
“Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; Sing praise to Him with a harp of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy. Psalm 33:1-3
Lord, forgive me! Oft times I attempt to sing songs that are not meant for me to sing. Thank You for giving me a song to sing in eternity’s symphony.
Thank you Marsha for reminding me to continue to sing my praises to the lord, even in the light of diversity.
What a beautifully “sung” reflection of each note of GRACE. My song is a bittersweet mixture of Laments & Psalms with the High Notes of the Prophets like Isaiah.. if that makes any sense lol. Thank you Marsha…I hear you singing. 8)
Beyond beautiful my friend.
