When I illustrate the Fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control), Joy is always Musical. I feel God’s joy in music. Others have felt it, too.

Music is a gift and grace of God, not an invention of men.

Music has been called the speech of the angels:
I will go farther and call it the speech of God Himself.
Charles Kingsley

We sing because our Father God sings. He sings over us, and He sings with delighted joy:
For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
Can you hear Him? Just listen; you will. Then you too will have a song.
You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me!
I sing for joy because of what you have done. Psalm 92:4 NLT
I will be filled with joy because of you.
I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. Psalm 9:2 NLT

Thank you for reminding me that the “Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.”
Thanks, Gini. We all need reminding.
