Long ago, our family had a canary named Goldie who, one night, had a visitor named Mouse. This rascal, when all was dark and quiet, would run up the canary stand, get into the cage, steal the food, scamp over to the water and steal a drink, and run back down the stand. The canary stayed fast asleep. It was funny as all get-out....
Heard about another alleged robbery...Musicians are up in arms that their copyrighted music is being downloaded free from an Internet Web site. People are 'stealing' our music," they say, and Napster.com found itself in big trouble in the Courts...the case is ongoing, so stay tuned...
Now you may not be a canary or a songbird of any kind, but sure as anything, God's put a song in your heart--and I know "someone" who is out to steal it. When you hear, in your spirit, the sound of trampling feet trying to get into YOUR cage or YOUR musicbox, wake up--and know that the enemy of your soul would love to stop the singing in your soul. He CAN'T stop it--unless you let him!
Tell the song-stealer to get lost--God's given you a song, and no devil in hell can stop the music while you're serving the Lord! Believe it--sing a NEW triumphant song to the Lord, loud and clear, so that old slewfoot hears it--and have a great day!
PS...Uh...if you're at work reading this, perhaps you'd better sing SILENTLY....grin!!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10)."
"...he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord (Psalm 40:3)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
Lord, somebody's been in my "cage" trying to steal my song. You put it deep within my heart, and no devil can take it away as I trust in You. I trust in You this day, I refuse the sly tactics of the enemy, and I claim victory--and a NEW SONG, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
