Psalm 40:1-3 "I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. (2) He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. (3) And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD."
Do you ever find yourself humming or whistling as you go about your everyday
activities? It might be a particular song or it might just be some musical
notes that you are humming that really do not fit a particular song. It might
be a tune that is just coming from deep inside you. Maybe you have gone through
a rough time as David described in our verses or maybe a blessing came to you
from out of the blue. Whatever the case, something has made your heart feel
lighter. That is a wonderful feeling, isn't it?
We can know that those musical notes came from the good Lord above! Aren't you
glad that God created music? It is a beautiful expression from the heart.I'm
not much of a whistler, but I find myself humming quite often. It usually isn't
a tune that I am aware of; rather, it is one of those down deep types of songs.
Without realizing the cause, I find myself with the sounds coming from my vocal
chords. The thought I am trying to convey to myself this morning is that God
has "put a new song in my mouth." And what I need to remember is that
He placed it there to give me an opportunity to give "praise unto our
God." Through the gift of that humming sound, I have new
opportunities to tell others about the goodness of God. When others ask why I
am humming, I should take every opportunity to tell them about the joy in my
heart and the source of that joy.
Right now there is a tune going through my mind...
God is so good
God is so good
God is so good
He's so good to me....
Feel free to hum along with me!
