Soul Song

As a worship leader, I’m always listening to songs – new songs, old songs, toe-tappers and heart-reflectors.  Typically, whatever song wakes me during the night or catches my ear during the morning drive, that’s the one that sticks with me then [if you know me] that’s it becomes the humming tune of the day!

What is your soul’s song?  If you are re-born, you must have one!  Believers should be the most joyful, contented people on earth.  The Prophet Isaiah’s world produced little to sing about, but the greatness of the God of Israel delivered much to Isaiah’s soul: “Sing praises to the LORD, for He has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth. Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.” (Isaiah 12:5-6)  Temporal things of this world will bring us only passing joy at best.  For sure, we’ll never know the “glorious” Isaiah refers to, and any shouting we do won’t be “for joy.”  The amazing part of this passage is that the Holy One of Israel is “in the midst” of our lives! Elohim (Almighty God and Creator) is present and His glorious works generate shouts of joy and songs of praise.  No excuses and no further delay -- get in The Word, Believer, and find your soul song then let ‘er rip!
