2 Samuel 22:1 David sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

There is a song for every occasion. King David knew this. Whether he was sad or glad or mad, he wrote songs to express what was in his heart and on his mind.

What’s on your playlist today?

It’s amazing how singing a song, or listening to one sung well, can shift our moods and redirect our thoughts. Where are your thoughts now? Where do they need to be? What songs will take you there?

There is one highway we drive frequently which requires a certain playlist. It is a playlist for recalling memories, for rethinking events long past.

My bride has a curated collection of certain songs for when she is feeling blue. They remind her she is not alone in feelings like these. They refocus her on her sure hope. They help her sing her emotions until her emotions obey her command. Neil Diamond must have been right.

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again

Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it get to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Now is a good time to sing a song. What song will you sing?

—

I will sing praise to the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

—

Our Father, thank you for giving us songs to sing. You bless us with expression deeper, higher, and broader than words can contain. You put a song in our hearts. Teach us to sing. Amen.

Deuteronomy 17:16-20 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and **he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left.** Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.
