Sing Good Morning
Psalms 59: 16, “But I will sing of thy power, yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.”
Morning! Be thankful for this new day and start believing it will be a great one! When you get out of bed just try singing a joyful song, any song with an upbeat rhythm to get you pumped up and on the move. I find that music is a pathway to the soul and even sad ones can bring you to positive thinking. Find someone to share a happy melody with, whether them hearing you or send them a video of the song that is touching your heart this morning. David wrote song after song to the Lord, even in his despair, in his loneliness, and in his triumphs! Every day he found a way to praise God as he arose in the morning or lay down in evenings. Mornings are the best time to be praising because it’s new and fresh. Not saying that we cannot praise in every moment of every day; just that knowing the day has been given to us to begin again brings out a whole new type of praise! There probably isn’t any human that does not have a song or a tune that plays in their mind at some point during their day. I don’t believe God wanted a dull worship service at any church He created. Though there are some cathedrals that don’t shout and sing, they do still have music to bring out the core of worship in the heart. When you find yourself up against the world, don’t let the devil steal your song! When you think you are too winded, breathe in God’s breath of relief and sing! I also believe that God was humming a joyful tune as He created the heavens and earth; then as He created every being. His delight in what He had accomplished gave Him a song in His heart that now He had creation to worship with Him! So today, while you are considering the beginning of the day, SING! Sing in the morning, sing in the afternoon, sing in the evening and sing at night! Play upon the heartstrings so that a joyous melody will uplift you into positivity! So now, just sing good morning; it’s a start!

Prayer:
Precious Lord, thank you for the sounds of music and songs in our hearts. Thank you for creating sounds of nature that bring melodies even to the animals. Thank you for providing the talents of those who make musical instruments, play joyous lyrics; for the ones who prepare the words to that song. Thank you for the melodies we create within our souls so we can rejoice in your presence. Continue Lord to lift us with your song so we can in turn share that music with the world. Amen.
