In this week of turbulence I have prayed. Oh, how I have prayed! And He has heard my voice! All I can do is sing songs of praise!
Giving thanks for:
A glimmer of hope that the kids are settling into routine...
A couple of kid-free hours thanks to my husband...
The genuine kindness of my co-workers...
A little chat with a good friend...
A daughter singing her own songs of praise as she loads the dishwasher...
He is real. He lifts us up. He steadies us. He gives us a song to sing. Even on bleak and turbulent January days.
I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,
and he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair...
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the Lord.*
If you are feeling your own January troubles, pray. He hears. Wait patiently with your trust in Him. He will fill you with a song!
James 5:13 NIV; Psalm 40:1-3 NLT
:) Some things just "make your heart sing." Wisdom from an amazing kindergarten TA... you might just know her daughter. ;)
