Good evening

Welcome back to Heartstrings! I am so glad you could be here. Springtime comes with so many gifts from above. I love hearing the many bird songs. Well, today's devotional from Streams in the Desert has something special to say. It blessed my heart!

Matthew 6:26 tells us, "Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they?" What is your answer?

From my devotional..."Oh, that we could reason less about our troubles, and sing and praise more! There are thousands of things that we wear as shackles which we might use as instruments with music in them, if we only knew how.

Those men that ponder, and meditate, and weigh the affairs of life, and study the mysterious developments of God's providence, and wonder why they should be burdened and thwarted and hampered--how different and how much more joyful would be their lives, if, instead of forever indulging in self-revolving and inward thinking, they would take their experiences, day by day, and lift them up, and praise God for them.

We can sing our cares away easier than we can reason them away. Siong in the morning. The birds are the earliest to sing, and birds are more without care than anything else that I know of.

Sing at evening. Singing is the last thing that robins do. When they have done their daily work; when they have flown their last flight, and picked up their last morsel of food, then on a topmost twig, they sing one song of praise.

Oh, that we might sing morning and evening, and let song touch song all the way through."

Wow! Isn't that uplifting? When I read this early, it really sounded like something I could apply to my life. Each day. While I don't know who the author is, I am sure the Holy Spirit was speaking to him or her in a private time in the presence of our Lord and King. 

So, don't let the song go out of your life! It makes the enemy twitch and itch anxiously until when he can't stand it anymore, has to run away. Lift up your voice and sing! 

You are in my prayers tonight. The Lord bless and keep you in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Abundance is...when we live on singing
