Each day that we awaken, there are the familiar sounds in life, other than the popping of our joints. We may hear our pet pacing on the floor, waiting for their morning relief outside. For some, we hear lawn equipment at work on the golf course. The trash collectors are busy starting and stopping to pick up garbage and recyclables. On occasion, a fire truck or an EMT vehicle rolls by to check on a neighbor. Airplanes or helicopters are flying overhead to remind us to exercise our necks and look up.
There are also other sounds we wake up to, especially during the season of Spring. It is a time when all nature sings to Heaven above for the beauty of life. The birds are chirping and pairing up to gather items to build their nests. Ducks are quacking, frogs are croaking, and bees are buzzing in celebration of the new season of life. The trees are beginning to burst forth with new buds reaching up and out to the skies.
For many of us who have come through a difficult season, it is time for us to make our voices heard in celebration of God’s continual blessings in life. When we are grateful, singing and making melody in our hearts it draws comfort and the presence of God. When we enter the day with a song, especially one that speaks to our soul, it continues to have a ripple effect, as pebbles cast upon many waters. When people encounter our presence, they will experience the ripple of our song of adoration to God.
When God is present in our hearts, the melody of heaven reaches the depths of our weary souls. All nature, reverberating the air waves with an encouraging symphony, to live each day to its fullest. The main purpose of our songs is to reach the heart of God and to move the spirit of man to give thanks to Him for His faithfulness.
Psalms 118:24 NKJV “This is the day that the Lord has made; we shall rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalms 96:1 ESV “Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!”
Let’s join in with all nature to sing our song of thanksgiving to God for another day of His amazing grace and love for us.
