Dear Young Christian:
Did you have a song in your heart and on your lips yesterday, as a result of the scriptures we noted? I hope so; and if so, let it continue all week long. The Lord doesn’t want us to just sing and praise Him one day of the week, no He is worthy of our praise every day.
Here is a verse to keep in mind as you face what is ahead this week: “By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name” (Hebrews 13:15). Notice, it is continually. All the time! Not just when things are bright and sunny or everything is running smoothly…all the time!
There may be some difficulties, and even sorrows in the days ahead, but we can always sing. Paul had many trials, but through it all he said: “As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing” (2 Corinthians 6:10). We have a lot to sing about, and the Lord enjoys and values our songs of praise.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
