SING PRAISES

"I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High."

Psalms 9:2
King James Version

Lizzie DeArmond wrote the inspiring hymn "SING OUT!". No matter what dark valleys or crises we have, we can still rejoice and praise Jesus because He loves us unconditionally and will never leave us.

I love the words in this hymn. "Sing out! Sing out! And tho’ the storm clouds lower, Hope’s rainbow soon will shine; O look above, with eyes of faith, Where gleams a light divine."

Jesus is not only our Light in the darkness, He is also our Rock of safety and shelter in the storms of life. Vernon J. Charlesworth wrote one of my favorite hymns " A Shelter in the Time of Storm".

"Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land, A weary land, a weary land; Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land, A Shelter in the time of storm.

O Rock divine, O Refuge dear, A Shelter in the time of storm; Be Thou our Helper ever near, A Shelter in the time of storm."

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much You gave Your beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins and to be our Light in the darkness and storms of life.

Jesus, I love You so much and one day I will see You face to face. Thank You for loving me and for never leaving me.

Heavenly Father, please encourage and comfort all who are lonely, discouraged and brokenhearted. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
