SING, SISTER

HOPE FULL: LET GO OF ANXIETY & LIVE WITH FAITH-FILLED ANTICIPATION - DAY 1

The enemy of our soul wants to silence us from singing God’s praises. He works overtime trying to trick us into thinking that all hope is lost. He whispers terrible lies in the dark: Your defeat is certain. You will never win. Just give up.

But if you slow down and lift your heart to heaven, you will hear your Savior sweetly singing victory over your life.

Even on the darkest nights, God can birth a song in your heart if you tune in and really listen to His love song.

You, my friend, are a songbird. Your life was created to sing His praises.

Emily Dickinson penned a poetic anthem for troubled nightingales like you and me:

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Sisters, I want to remind you that God’s hope never leaves you. You may feel battered by the storms of life at this moment, but you still have so many reasons to sing.

4 REASONS YOUR SOUL SHOULD SING

GOD’S LOVE NEVER FAILS

You are walled in by God’s love. Nothing can penetrate His shield to destroy you.

“Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone.” (Psalm 33:22, NLT)

GOD’S COMFORT IS COMING

God is willing to step into your pain. Remember His love is already written in red.

“Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them. God’s love never fails you.” (Psalm 10:17, NLT)

GOD FAITHFULLY ANSWERS YOUR PRAYER

Your wonder working God will always win the day. Your salvation is sure.

“You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our Savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas.” (Psalm 65:5, NLT)

GOD’S REDEMPTION OVERFLOWS

God is in the business of restoration. One day you will look back and see the beauty He birthed in this season.

“O Israel, hope in the Lord; for with the Lord there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows.” (Psalm 130:7, NLT)

The God of hope never fails to pour His love into our hearts and give us a new song. Put your trust in Him and believe He will give you the strength you need to keep singing even in the fiercest storm.
