Something about singing always repositions my thoughts and attitudes toward God. I can't recall a time in the last 15 years, that God hasn't put a song into my spirit that has helped me to get through a difficult time. With each trial, he gives me something to sing about.
God's word is the very foundation of the songs my mouth sings as they overflow from the heart within. When my heart breaks before God, a song flows. When I am filled with fear, a song flows. When the enemy presses in a song flows. When all is well with my soul, a song flows.
Each trial draws me deeper into the shadow of the Most High. It has been there in the shadows that I have learned to sing and to cling. He has become my hiding place, my place of refuge from the storms. It is in His presence that I am consumed with rest.
Psalm 63:7-8 says, "Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."
In the shadow of His wings, is the place we can rest. It is the place we can sing because of knowing his great protection. It is a place of incredible comfort.
In the shadow of His wings, is the place where we become disciplined to cling to God. Each trial thrusts us into this place and causes us to cling with even greater strength. With each trial, God proves his faithfulness to us as he reveals that he is our help.
Keep singing, and keep clinging, for he alone is your help and he will uphold you.

Sheri,
How beautiful! I also truely desire to be in the shadow of His wings. To rest, to heal and to celebrate how awesome our God is.
Remind me to share the song that begins, "I will dwell in the shadow of His wings, I rely on His faithful covering."
Again, love to you always, and keep those blog blessings coming!
