God’s Lyrics

Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.  1 Chronicles 16:23-24 NASB

What does it mean to sing of victory during life’s storms? We all find ourselves in darkness from time to time. In fact, I think there’s always a low-level storm brewing in our souls. Worry, unrest, and fear threaten our sanity and diminish our joy.

Whether it’s a global pandemic, unrest, or rising panic about what the future may hold, the world seems to have a knack for finding ways to throw new fears at us. 

If you’ve been singing your life’s songs in the darkness of sadness, physical suffering, self-doubt, or isolation, or if you simply want to learn to sing to God, remember a “song” doesn’t have to have literal music. 

It is whatever is on repeat in your heart and mind. What “song,” good or bad, is playing over and over in your head? Ask God to teach you to sing His song of love and truth.

Choose to sing of His Goodness, instead of complaining. Choose to sing of His kindness, instead of doubting. Choose to sing and praise His Name forever. When the enemy comes to devour your peace — choose to praise Him. Sing unto the Lord a new song — let God transform your lyrics.
