My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. — Psalm 63:5
One of the delights of being a father is listening to my children sing. I’m not talking so much about scheduled song — as in a church service. I’m talking about spontaneous expression of joy and peace and security. I don’t know, exactly, how they learn it. They seem somehow to be born with it, because without any prompting on our part, sometimes they just sing, even when they are very small.
It isn’t a show. It isn’t a performance. I don’t suspect they are even aware than anyone is listening. It just wells up from a contented soul.
Just as all our desires point heavenward, so also, God is the satisfaction that we seek. Everything we need, everything we want, everything we scarcely dare dream for is found in Him.
I’m not sure what rises up from your soul when you are contented, when the Lord has met with you and given you peace. For me, not much of a singer, it’s pure gratitude. That’s my song. But whatever your song is, I know the Lord is listening with a smile.
Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
