Sing!

The wind has been tumultuous today thanks to Hurricane Irma.  Everyone I know had prepared for the wind by putting away what wasn’t nailed down!  It’s good to have anchors – steady people and things – in life; unfortunately, much like front porch chairs unsecured in heavy wind, these anchors are temporal. David wrote, “My soul is steadfast, O God!” (Psalm 108:1).  How can we be so sure of a steadfast heart in an ever-shifting world?  Because the Steadfast Love of the LORD never ceases … His Mercies never come to an end … Great is His Faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23).  Have you reached the end of your rope? … Is your outlook gloomy? … Has life wearied you to despair? … Are you faint of heart?  Sing!  Sing deliberately, “My soul is Steadfast, O God … I will sing and make melody with all my being … For Your Steadfast Love is Great above the heavens; Your Faithfulness reaches to the clouds.” (108:1, 4).  It is God alone Who anchors the soul.  In amazingly peaceful times, sing!  In tumultuous times, sing!  Let your soul sing!
