songs of contentment

Holy God,

Thank You for Your love. Your wisdom. Your Word. Truth. Promises. Examples.

Mm, yes. Thank You for Your way. And the privilege of searching Your Word to find Your best.

Thank You also for music Father. And the many times You speak to my very soul through it.

Waking up singing ♪Changes changes♪ I struggled to find the lyrics I sought. Thank You Lord for leading and guiding me. Even in an internet search.

While You never change, everything else does. The weather. Our minds. Plans. Even the songs that we sing.

Thinking of yesterday’s repeat performance of our “just right/Goldilocks” weather and yardwork conditions, I searched references to the apostle Paul’s statement of contentment (Philippians 4:11). Father, thank You for the ways You work in our hearts.

Searching to learn more about Your will and Your way, I’m sent to Philippians 2:5-11. While reading the importance of having the Attitude of Christ another song begins the moment I read the word “humble.”

Straight from the gardening soundtrack of yesterday. ♪Always stay Humble and Kind♪ Oh yes Blessed God. Continue Your work in us that we would always stay humble and kind!

Especially with ALL the changes that come our way. Every single day.

We love You God. We need, trust and want You as our Father and Guide. Use us exactly as You know is best. Singing Your songs of contentment as we go.

♪Changes, changes that’s all he can play Strangest changes he plays them all day So sweet So I repeat Changes, changes…♪

Thank You Father. Amen.
