Jan 23 - Psalm 59:16

                But as for me,

I will sing about your power.

I will shout with joy each morning

because of your unfailing love.

Psalm 59:16

I cited this verse yesterday. And today I just want to make one quick and simple point...

First the context: If you've been reading along for the last several days and the last several Psalms, you know that David has been hunted. King Saul wants to kill him.

It is a desperate time. Yet David is literally singing. Why? Because he is trusting in God's power. His faith makes him confident and thus he sings.

Here's the point ...

David says, "I will shout with joy each morning because of your unfailing love." And the point is that if people are trying to kill you, each morning ought to be a celebration of great joy. You are alive for another day! Celebrate!!!

Wait… even if you are not being hunted, each morning ought to be a celebration of great joy. You are alive!

Too many of us live as if the glass is half empty. Most days the glass is totally full ... just because we are alive … just because God is in our lives … and in spite of our circumstances!

In Christ's Love,

a guy who

agrees with David --

it's time to sing!!!
