Rejoice! Shake It! Have a Ball!

We all have special things that happen in our lives.  Special events.  Special people.  Special moments.  And in those moments, let the One who gave you those moments know that you appreciate it!

"He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.  Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord."  Psalm 40:3  By outwardly praising our God, people will take notice.  Live those happy and special moments out loud!

"Sing a new song to Him; play skillfully on the strings with a joyful shout." Psalm 33:3

David rejoices to the Lord, "I delight to do Your will, my God;  Your instruction resides within me.  I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; see, I do not keep my mouth closed-- as You know, Lord.  I did not hide Your righteousness in my heart..."  Psalm 40:8-10

God wants you to tell Him "thank you" and of how great He is!  You know He's done awesome things for you, so rejoice in Him and His excellent greatness!

You know, yesterday I almost didn't write to you because I didn't feel like it would do anyone any good.  Then I had so many people tell me how much they enjoy these little devotionals, even to the point of wanting to be a better person.  So don't grow weary in doing good, people.  Especially if it is for God's glory!  Sure, there is a time to speak, and a time to listen.  But seek His face, and He will lead you on the right path!  Rejoice in this day that our omnipresent God and Creator has orchestrated!  Rejoice with those vocal chords, even if you (or others) don't like the way it sounds.  God does!  You are precious to Him!

I am rejoicing in you today, Tara K
