Sing

There are people in life that are simply fun to be around.  They seem to always be upbeat and happy.  They encourage others in spite of their own situations.  They even seem to always have a song in their heart.

When someone is like that you know when something is wrong.  They might seem unhappy.  They might even lose their smile and their song.  I was reading Oswald Chambers’ daily devotional the other day and something jumped out at me.  Look at what he asks, “Have we learned to sing after we hear God’s key-note?”  It is so easy to sing when everything is going our way.  Life seems to be good.

What happens when life turns upside down for us?  We seem to lose our song and our smile among other things.  I looked up the word keynote and on of the meanings is “The principal theme in a speech or literary work” according to the Word Web dictionary.  It reminds me of Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”  All things are not good; but, God is working them for our good and His Glory.

So, how are you doing?
