Early this morning as I walked out and sat on my porch, expecting to have some quiet time and coffee; I soon heard the noises of the traffic. Horns blaring, muscle cars roaring, and the beeping of the garbage trucks as they backed up. Down the street came the commotion of the builders working on the school building along with the dump trucks rattling. People were leaving their homes for work, and I could hear children waiting on the school bus to arrive. Noise! It seemed to come from everywhere.
Above all the loudness and busyness of this particular morning, I hear a very small bird singing. He was perched on the very edge of my roof overlooking the activities of the day. It was so small you almost couldn’t see him. There he was, just singing. His song continued to louden over everything else that was going on. He did not stop despite the things that were around him, his song didn’t weaken but only became stronger and louder. As I looked down, my bible was opened and I see underlined, “I will sing praises unto thy name”.
Lord, let me sing praises in every circumstance and help me to stand in this world and to proclaim your goodness even if it seems no one else is listening.
