I will sing of YOUR strength...
As our family reads through the Psalms, often there are verses that stick out to me. This morning it was Psalm 59:17 But as for me, I will sing of your strength; in the morning I will sing aloud of your grace. For you are my fortress, a refuge when I am in trouble. The fact that we can sing and find refuge when in trouble, that is comforting. What needs to happen, however, is: I will sing of YOUR strength. Too often we focus on songs that are about getting us out of the pit.
