"I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:1-3

The truth to claim in my life tonight is that I do have a new song in my heart. That is truth every morning for me as a believer. However, how many days have passed that many did not see and fear and put their trust in the Lord because I failed to sing. I failed to praise my God for his faithfulness and steadfastness. Instead my eyes ever so easily deviated from His precious gaze and focused on the voices telling me I would fail again. I trusted only in my visible present and forgot that my Father was at work within me and that His plan never looks like I think nor does it look as the world convinces me it should.

Tomorrow will be another opportunity to sing the praises of my Father or focus on the potential for failure. Oh that I would have the strength to chose to sing..."may my lifesong sing to you."
