Music in the air

Sunday October 16th, Psalm 96: 1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Sing to the LORD, praise the Lord’s name; proclaim the Lord’s salvation day after day. 3 Declare the Lord’s glory among the nations, and the marvelous deeds among all peoples. Do you go through the day singing or at least humming to yourself? I do and it drives my wife nuts. I don’t actually sing or hum, which might be part of the problem, I sort of breathe the melody, forming different notes in my head, and making an annoying sound in hers. Once she knows I am singing and not having a heart attack, she is better with it, and I can go on in my joy. It is sort of like a meditation; a mindful presence; letting the words, the sounds, the thoughts, and the being swirl around in my head in prayer. Sing to the Lord a new song, an old song, any song that tells of the wonders of the Lord. And spend your day, living in prayer and mindful presences with you God. It is not that God is not always with you, but music in your head is sort of like reaching up and taking God’s hand as you walk through life. For a little musical version of this try the following by Ruthie Foster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl3xuJ0DWQY&feature=related
