~You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.~ Psalm 30:11-12
This verse caught my eye a few days ago when I was doing my devotions. The phrase that really captured my gaze was "that my heart may sing to you and not be silent." Since I am a singer, the verse seemed to make sense. I will sing to God all the time. That's not a problem for me...I'm pretty much singing all the time anyways. :) However, when I reread the verse I really focused in on the word "heart." The heart is the very core of my being, what motivates me, what pumps blood to my brain to sustain life. And singing is an expression of my love and admiration of the majesty and holiness of God...a state of worship. When I thought of it that way, it had so much more meaning. Having my heart, the core of my being, be in a constant state of singing and worship towards my all-powerful, mountain-moving Creator. And NEVER stopping...never being silent. No matter what comes to rob my joy or steal my song.
Oh God, may my heart always be singing to You.
