WHAT ARE YOU MAKING?
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
…singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:19–20, NKJV
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Ephesians 5:19–20, KJV
TODAY’S WORD
We’re all making something. Some people are making sadness, thinking about what they’ve been through, what wasn’t fair, who they lost. That’s drawing in more sadness, more discouragement. Other people are making worry, playing all the negative thoughts over and over in their mind. “What if it doesn’t work out? What if I don’t get well?” That’s drawing in more stress, more heaviness. Why don’t you start making melody in your heart to the LORD. Start having a song of praise inside. Instead of saying, “These children are so much trouble,” start saying, “LORD, thank You for blessing me with children.” Instead of saying, “It’s a pain to go to work,” say, “LORD, thank You that I have a job.” Instead of saying, “The medical report is not good. I don’t think I’ll ever get well,” be saying, “LORD, thank You that You’re restoring health to me.” Are you creating an atmosphere of doubt, worry, and mediocrity. Or are you creating an atmosphere of praise, victory, and abundance? All through the day, under your breath, be one who is making melody in your heart.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
“FATHER, thank You that I can make melody to You in all my circumstances because You are bigger than any of my circumstances. Thank You that I can put the old sad songs of defeat behind me and start singing songs of victory. I declare that I will create an atmosphere of praise to You today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
