Liz’s Morning Devotional: Scripture selected from Upper Room
September 7, 2022
Read: Ephesians 5:19-21
19 speak to each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; sing and make music to the Lord in your hearts; 20 always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 and submit to each other out of respect for Christ.
Good morning! Give thanks to God for all things
Such a short passage, but full of challenging information. I have had the great opportunity to allow God to speak through me in music. When I play, I feel the Holy Spirit moving through me and speaking to me. A few years ago, we moved to Afton, and I met my musical soul sister, Joanne. From the first time we played together, I felt a special connection. Without words and without setting a plan, our souls come together to create music
During the pandemic, we had to find a different way to create music together, so we began creating virtual duets. The process takes time, but through each step of the way, no matter what else is going on, this time is so precious each week. Now that I have moved, we are continuing to play together virtually. We share these duets with others each week and spread the love of God through our gifts of creating music together.
I give thanks to God for this and all my many blessings. As I listen and work to follow God’s calling to me, I thank God for the music that allows us to share across the miles without the distraction of words. Thank you for bringing us together.
Gracious God, Thank You for loving us. Thank you for my blessings. I love You Lord and I lift my voice in praise. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen
Thought for the day: My faith is strengthened by the faith of others.
Listen to God and Accept Your Blessings! Pastor Liz
