Let Us Sing Joy to The Lord!

Good and quite wet morning to you! I could go on about my recent problems, but why keep flogging my poor dead moose? This morning let us sing joy to the Lord! At times in our lives, whether in our health or in our wealth, in poverty or plenty, rain or sunshine, driving or walking, cooking or cleaning... enough already, we have endured some difficult times. If you claim the right to become children of God, then you have earned the world's hatred and you have endured difficult times. I'm not making a wild stab in the darkness here, when you gave yourself to Jesus, the world armed itself and came after you with its proverbial guns blazing. So, now that we know that times of tribulation will come, as if the words of our Lord Jesus were not enough that is, we might as well take His promises and sing our joy to the Lord.

In your prayers today insert a song of joy to the Lord. Did someone say that prayers must only be spoken lists of needs and wants, intercessions and complaints? No, good then perish that thought and sing to the Lord a song of joy. Did you ever pause to pray to the Lord, "You do good work, Lord!"? I like that one. Howz come we don't tell the Lord He does a good job more often? David did; look into his psalms of joy for a more eloquent stating of 'Good job, Lord'. Sing that psalm of joy, make up one of your own, and have a good time with it. You can sneak into the shower when no one is around and sing it there if your singing needs a bit of accompaniment. I'll probably do that, or maybe I will torture the cats a bit with some of my own caterwauling.

God bless and keep you on this rainy day!
