Devotional Reflection
Laughter and song are the best ways to describe happiness. When we are happy, we sing to the Lord. Our music isn't stifled or held back in any way. Instead, it's full of heart and sound. Thanksgiving brings us into the presence of the Father, and our happiness at being saved makes us want to sing.
Prayer
O most gracious and loving God, thank you so much for saving me from guilt, the death penalty, legal restrictions, and nothingness. It is because of your Holy Spirit that I am able to approach you with exuberant delight, thanks to your salvation. In addition to giving me hope, your kindness and compassion have embraced me into your family. Be delighted by my worship songs as you hear my heart. Forever and ever, I will pray and shout your praise in Jesus' name. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
