JOY.....Make a Joyful Noise Unto The Lord it says in the Psalms
I woke up singing this morning, and usually I do, but some days the singing is better than others...I am not a very good 'singer' but I LOVE to sing. As a result, I know what the Psalms mean when it says, 'make a joyful ~noise~unto the Lord'! Then I started to read my daily word devotion and found that it described my morning emotion to me just exactly as I was experiencing it. Yep, that is me!!! See below:
Joy
I carry a song of joy in my heart.
Whether I consider myself to be a good singer or not, I carry a song of joy in my heart today. The tune and lyrics may be well-known or made up as I go along. My song may burst forth audibly or play in my own mind. With joy as my companion, there is lightness to my step, a twinkle in my eye and a smile on my face.
My song is inspired by life all around me: a sunflower's glory, a wheat field's bounty, a child's giggle or a puppy's wiggle. It wells up from within me as gratitude for what God has made, including my own self. I have been given a spirit of joy that carries me through whatever challenges I face. I sing a song of joy today as His Spirit sings through me.
"For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy." Psalm 92:4
