Heavenly Father, I praise You for allowing me to have the talent to sing and to play harmonica. I praise You for allowing me the privilege to participate with the worship team that prepares the congregation for service. I praise You for the gift of music that can help us get through good times, bad times, times of sorrow, and times of joy. I thank You for creating us with praise and song in our hearts. Today, help me take command of my day and shake the evil from it.
Holy Spirit, Zephaniah was inspired by You to write: The Lord your God is in your midst, a Mighty One, who will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will renew you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. [Zephaniah 3:17 MEV] I am so inspired by the thought that You rejoice over me with singing. I know the joy I feel when I sing to You with praise and awe in my heart for the salvation I have and the knowledge of being an adopted son of Yours. I can only imagine the music you sing over me. As a father, I remember singing over and to my children
when they were babies and as they grew up. I know the pride and joy it brought to my heart. Help me to let Your singing penetrate deep within my soul today and bring Your joy to me so that I can share it with others in all I do today. Help me to accept that You rejoice over me with gladness. Most of all, help me to acknowledge You are in my midst and that I am Your living Holy Temple for Your Spirit to dwell with all that I am.
Let the words of my mouth, the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. In You I draw my strength and my joy; help me to honor You with my actions and my words. Help me to sing today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
