When you sing to God, it’s a comfort for your soul.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And I don’t pretend to have a great singing voice, and I’m certainly not a trained vocalist like Amy Grant or Kristyn Getty, but I sing because I have to sing. When I’m feeling overwhelmed by my disability, worship songs and hymns are so consoling to my soul. Songs like, “All the way my Savior leads me, cheers each winding path I tread; gives me grace for every trial; feeds me on the living bread. When my weary soul may falter, and my soul a-thirst may be, gushing from the Rock before me, lo, a spring of joy I see.” Oh, friend, life is full of hardships—be it a disability, a lost job, or a move across the country. But no matter what life brings, you can lift up a song. So, tune your voice to sing brave music today, to the Lord, like it says in Psalm 104: “… I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.” So, sing when you have to. It’ll be a comfort to your soul.
