What is your song?

Psalms 118:14 “The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.”

What is the song in your heart? What is it that you allow to give you strength? Look at the fruits of the things around you. Are you singing a song of despair and destitution? How about a song of fear and anger? Is your day consumed with bickering and hateful sayings? Are you a gray cloud over someone else’s day? What are the reactions of people when you cross paths? Do they readily greet you with a smile or quickly avert their eyes and are suddenly busy with concentrating on putting one foot in front of another?

We can quickly gauge what our attitude says about us by observing how friends, family and co-workers respond to us. Are you constantly in disagreement with others? Why is that? When you meet someone are they ready to engage in conversation with you or are they looking for the nearest exit?

These things can help you find out what your true song is. We can say that the Lord is our song but is it true in action? If you are singing a song of sadness and defeat, you will always reap this in your life. Instead, change the channel. Sing a song of gladness. Sing a song full of God’s goodness and grace. Sing a song of love and forgiveness and watch how your tree of relationships blooms new blossoms with friends you didn’t know you had and restored lines of communications.

It is a joy to speak with a man of a glad heart but agony to stand in the midst of one full of turmoil and strife.

Be a welcome place for others. Sing a glad song in your heart and let your life be one of a shining example of God’s love and grace.
