Grace for your spirit July 25, 2013

Grace for your spirit
For there our captors demanded of us songs, and our tormentors mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."  How can we sing the Lord's song in a foreign land?  Psalm 137:3-4

The children of Israel had been captured by the Babylonians.  They taunted God's people and laughed at them, demanded songs about their great kingdom.  Their sarcasm struck deep in their hearts, for indeed, their songs were gone.  As captives in a foreign land, they had nothing to sing about.  The same thing can happen to God's people today. When we allow the devil to capture our hearts, the songs of the kingdom will escape us.  Then the worldly can make fun of us because we have no song in our hearts or on our lips.  Let's be filled with song today.  It will help us stay close to the Lord and away from our enemies. Let's reflect joy and create joy with song.
