I have long been an advocate of disconnecting from the havoc of life and spending some quiet time in contemplation. At this moment I am trying to do that. I am sitting on the front porch listening to a musical. This is the music of nature that the Lord had created for me through birds. I hear the melody of Robins, the staccato chatter of a small territorial Wren, the sharp whistle of Hummingbirds and the background vocals of Chickadees and Sparrows. Recently life has had some severe bumps in the road. Perhaps for you it might be potholes that seemed to swallow you. In Psalm 23:5 David describes how God refreshes and renews him physically and emotionally in the midst of surrounding oppression. As I pause and listen to God’s musical for me I can agree with David that my life is filled with the LORD’s favor and continual renewal.
