Sing...

Sing:
Here's a situation where it seems the enemy taunted the Jews. They were slaves in a foreign land. And the enemy says, “Now sing one of those songs.”

Maybe you've been there. Your husband comes in and says, “I'm leaving you and the kids.” And the devil says, “Now sing your song.” The doctor says it's cancer. And the devil stands taunting you saying, “Sing you song now!” Your baby dies, your boss hands you a pink slip, your teenager runs away from home....and the devil dares you to sing. What do you do when you don't feel like singing?

Job's attitude was, “I don't understand why. And I don't know for how long. But this one thing I do know. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. And devil...you can't have my song?”

SING ANYWAY !!!

Never forget this when you are looking  for encouragement not to stop singing your song, the supreme example has to be Christ.

Jesus never stopped singing. In the garden, in the shadow of the cross He sings, “Not my will but thine be done.” They pluck He beard, they reject Him and beat Him and nail Him to a cross, and the devil though he had silenced the song, but from the cross He sings, “Forgive them Father, they know not what they do.” He dies on the cross, He is buried and the tomb is sealed and the devil thinks he has silenced His song. But on the third day the tomb burst open with Jesus robed in splendor and He's singing, “Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down.” He said, “Devil...you can't have my song, and I'm gonna give this song to my children, and you can't have their song either.

And because Jesus never stopped singing, He gave us a song that we never have to stop singing. And one day we will join the heavenly host and sing a song the angels cannot sing, “Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see.”
