Psalm 108:1

My view from "The Chair" this morning - Psalm 108:1.  Okay, Time for some confession.  Yes, I know ... I've been absent these last two months.  Truth be told, it's been ten shades of rough.  I don't know about you, but "sometimes" the battle is just rough both physically and spiritually.  Wanna know a secret?  I've been out doing battle on the Clear Creek Trail.  No, not physically, but spiritually.  Evidently, some of you locals have heard me.  Here is how I've been battling.  I've been declaring, through song, all the ways He surrounds me; goes before me; and fights my battles.  (I've attached one of my favorite songs that I've been using.)  Yes, I've been using my voice.  You know, just like we LOVE to hear our physical children's voices calling to us, He also loves to hear us calling to Him and declaring who He is.  Today I came around the corner and discovered this painted rock.  Maybe someone has been listening and wanted to encourage me.  If that is you and you are reading this, thank you!  If not and you are local, I left it there to encourage you to open your mouth and sing to Him.

Can I ask you a question?  Are you struggling?  Does it feel like your life is a mess and spinning out of control?  Are you being pulled into the vortex of anxiety and depression?  If so, open your mouth.  Declare who He is.  Declare who He sees you as.  Declare that the battle is His. Use your audible voice.  Your voice is a powerful weapon against the schemes of Satan.  Don't let a bad case of battle exhaustion paralyze your vocal cords.  You don't have to be a fabulous singer, He loves your voice exactly how it is.  Will you join me?
