Day 33
And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sin,
and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand,
having His Father’s name written in their foreheads.
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder:
and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps;
and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders:
and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand,
which were redeemed from the earth.
Revelation 14:1-3
Despise not the school of sorrow, O my soul;
it will give thee a unique part in the universal song.
-George Matheson
There are songs which can only be learned in the valley.
No art can teach them; no rules of voice can make them perfectly sung.
Their music is in the heart.
They are songs of memory, of personal experience.
They bring out their burden from the shadow of the past; they mount the wings of yesterday.
-Streams In The Desert
LORD, You are teaching me a new song.
Praising You in the midst of the pain provides for me, the healing experience.
Thank You, God!
Knowing that I am not standing alone brings me comfort.
Experiencing small touches of Your mercy and Your grace throughout my day reminds me – I am not forgotten.
This is not a part that I would have chosen for myself but when I surrendered my will it became Your choice for my life, and I accept that.
Teach me to sing this new part You have for me.
Use me as You choose.
