VERSE OF THE WEEK
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God… – Psalm 40:3
Sing a New Song
The Gundersen Health System includes music in their recommendations for starting your day off right. A song in the morning “has been proven to boost your mood… energize you… improve your mental focus, reduce stress, and make you happier… improving your morning outlook.” The psalmist David knew the power of music, and he says, in this week’s verse, that it is God who gave him a new song—one of praise to the Lord. That it was put into his mouth meant that he vocalized it, he sang it aloud, so it would not only run through his mind but enter other sectors of his brain as it came back through his ears! The American Heart Association reports that singing boosts your circulation as well as your mood, and enhances your lung function. Let God put a new song in your mouth today, and sing your gratitude to Him. Your soul and body will be blessed as you spiritually draw closer to the Lord in songs of praise!
