"My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn." -- Psalm 57:7-8

Music conveys so much that our words cannot.  Whether you are musically talented or not, take time today to connect with sounds that inspire, lift, and move you.  Listen to them.  Make them.  Raise them to the heavens.  Try singing something today.  Whether your a good singer or not, let your soul speak out.  Use words or don't use words.  Be on pitch or don't.  But whatever you sing, sing it from your heart.  You'll be amazed at how cathartic it is.  It truly can be a spiritual experience.  No wonder it's hard to worship without singing...

Readings:  Isaiah 12:1-14:32; 2 Corinthians 13:1-14; Psalm 57:1-11; Proverbs 23:9-11
