WORDS for LIFE
Our new daily 'Pause for Thought'
“Your word is a lamp to my
feet, a light for my path”
Psalm 119:105
Words For Life:Psalm 30:4
Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
In Other Words: When the United States imprisoned Japanese-Americans during World War II, some of them coped through music. In fact, swing bands popped up in all the internment camps. “The music got our minds off the war and what was happening to us,” said one bandleader. “Because we were so concerned about the music, it took our minds off of the bad things”.
At a spiritual level, transforming weeping into dancing is what God is all about, as David testified in today’s psalm of thanksgiving. Sing praises to the Lord and give him thanks this day and forever.
Praying Words: Through music and prayer transform our sadness into joy this day and in your name, Heavenly Father. Amen
