Joy Break

Come let us sing for joy to the Lord:
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
(Psalm 95:1)

Good Morning,

We are a family of hummers. In fact, we often hum while we think, get ready for the day, and even during our work. We are not alone. There are many hummers in this world. Humming can be an expression of joy out loud.

The psalmist invited the people to express their joy through singing in the Psalms:
Come let us sing for joy to the Lord: The Psalmist issued the invitation. . .
For the people to come --advance, draw near, and approach God . . .
To let--allow, permit, and grant joy to be released . . .
For joy--delight, gladness, and rapture in the awareness and knowledge of God.
Choose to draw near to God and release your joy. Life changes when joy is expressed.

Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation:
Let--allow, permit, and grant-- the joy within to be lived out loud.
Express joy for the stable, never changing Rock in your life that saves us from the darkness of this world.

Take a joy break! Hum. Sing. Shout.

Learning with you to take a joy break,
Kerrie
