The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. Psalm 28:7
I enjoy singing but I am at best a shower singer. So at church, I do my best to at least achieve the “joyful noise” category. And even though my pitch and knowledge of the words is a little sketchy, I do try to sing unto the Lord with gladness. I have found that no matter how I am feeling, if I have a song in my heart the Holy Spirit is gracious to provide an uplifting of my heart and mind. You can sing only so many verses of “I love you Jesus” or “I am a friend of God” before you begin to reflect on God’s goodness in our lives. So as I approach another day, I will endeavor to keep a song in my heart and His praises on my lips for the joy of the Lord is my strength.
