[Discoveries] 06-06-07 Song of contentment

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing 
lips my mouth will praise you. -- Psalm 63:5*/

One of the delights of being a father is listening to my children sing. 
I'm not talking so much about scheduled song -- as in a church service. 
I'm talking about spontaneous expression of joy and peace and security. 
I don't know, exactly, how they learn it. They seem somehow to be born 
with it, because without any prompting on our part, sometimes they just 
sing, even when they are very small.

It isn't a show. It isn't a performance. I don't suspect they are even 
aware than anyone is listening. It just wells up from a contented soul.

Just as all our desires point heavenward, so also, God is the 
satisfaction that we seek. Everything we need, everything we want, 
everything we scarcely dare dream for is found in Him.

I'm not sure what rises up from your soul when you are contented, when 
the Lord has met with you and given you peace. For me, not much of a 
singer, it's pure gratitude. That's my song. But whatever your song is, 
I know the Lord is listening with a smile.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
