Strengthened in Song Bible in a Year : Isaiah 43–44; 1 Thessalonians 2 I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress. Psalm 59: Psalm 59:1, – When French villagers helped Jewish refugees hide from the Nazis during World War II, some sang songs in the dense forest surrounding their town—letting the refugees know it was safe to come from hiding. These brave townspeople of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon had answered the of local pastor André Trocmé and his wife, Magda, to offer wartime refuge to Jews on their windswept plateau known as “La Montagne Protestante.” Their musical signal became just one feature of the villagers’ bravery that helped save up to 3,000 Jews from almost certain death. In another dangerous time, David sang when his enemy Saul sent nighttime assassins to his house. His use of music wasn’t a signal; rather, it was his song of gratitude to God his refuge. David rejoiced, “I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble” (Psalm 59. Such singing isn’t “whistling in the dark” during danger. Instead, David’s singing conveyed his trust in almighty God. “You, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely” (v. ). David’s praise, and the villagers’ singing in Le Chambon, offer an invitation to bless God today with our singing, making melody to Him despite the worries of life. His loving presence will respond, strengthening our hearts. Reflect & Pray How do you feel when you’re singing your favorite praise song? Why do praise songs inspire us to feel stronger? Dear God, strengthen my heart with praises that transform my fears and worries into worship of You.

Strange that this should post today..... I got up with a song of praise in my mind and started singing it throughout the day. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, In the mountain of His holiness. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, The city of the great King. Is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, The city of the great King. Abracadabra

The song yesterday that I sang throughout the day was, "Lord, I lift your name on high. Lord, I love to sing your praises. I'm so glad you're in my life. I'm so glad you came to save us...… You came from Heaven to earth, to show the way. From the earth to the cross, our debt to pay, from the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky, Lord I lift your name on high." Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Laughing here, Star. That was one of my favorites that we sang frequently at the church we used to attend. The song yesterday that I sang throughout the day was, "Lord, I lift your name on high. Lord, I love to sing your praises. I'm so glad you're in my life. I'm so glad you came to save us...… You came from Heaven to earth, to show the way. From the earth to the cross, our debt to pay, from the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky, Lord I lift your name on high." Abracadabra
