DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 8:1-30; Jeremiah 15:1-21; Philippians 1:1-20
By them (the springs) shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. Psalm 104:12
We are delighted, and God is glorified, by the songs of birds. Let us add our song to that of the birds. We have the Holy Spirit as our habitation, a well of water springing up unto everlasting life within us. As we live in the Spirit, let us sing praises to our God. And beyond the song may we have sweet meditation of Him. “Bless the Lord, O my soul” (Ps. 103:1). —D. Pickup
The birds upon the treetops sing their song,
The angels chant their chorus all day long;
The flowers in the garden blend their hue,
So why shouldn’t I, why shouldn’t you, praise Him too? —D. G.
