Daily Devotional

My favorite time of day is late in the afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky and shines so brightly into my windows. It creates a joy, a melody in my heart that is unexplainable. The other day around this same time I was taking my daughter home and looked up at the sky to a gorgeous sunset. The blues, pinks and yellows were such an incredible mixture of beauty and I was caught up with the same emotion.

This morning I read this passage in Isaiah and it made me think back to these moments of the day and the joy they bring me and I was struck by the fact that there will be a time at the Lord's return when His presence will be that same expression of beauty. His sun/sunsets are a sign of the brightness of His glory! It was such a revelation and brought a smile to my face to be reminded of the hope we have for a new and brighter world!

In My Heart There Rings A Melody

Verse 1
I have a song that Jesus gave me
It was sent from heav'n above
There never was a sweeter melody
'Tis a melody of love

Chorus
In my heart there rings a melody
There rings a melody with heaven's harmony
In my heart there rings a melody
There rings a melody of love

Verse 2
I love the Christ who died on Calv'ry
For He washed my sins away
He put within my heart a melody
And I know it's there to stay

Verse 3
'Twill be my endless theme in glory
With the angels I will sing
'Twill be a song with glorious harmony
When the courts of heaven ring
