As we are aware its really hot at the moment so I decided to go outside this morning in the cool of the day and just spend some time with God in His creation to sit and pray. However before I got that far I was listening to the birds singing their praises to God for the brand new day. Then I wrote this.

All is silent apart from the birds singing, praising God. They are singing in the new morning. That’s what we need to be doing, praising and singing to our God for each brand new day, the gift of life, for all that He is and does in our lives. Whatever we are going through in hard times and good we rightly need to praise God. The crow comes and starts to speak but it sounds more like he is trying to drown out the birds praises. It just reminded me of the enemy trying to stop us sing/praise/worship God. He will make a noise, try and distract us, disturb us in our quiet time or put things in the way of our time with God but don’t let him win. Don’t listen to the enemy, the lies that he shouts from the rooftops. Listen to the gentle whisper of God. Don’t listen to the lies, the untruths that he shouts in your ears every day. Like the birds we need to keep on singing and keep on praising and keep on trusting God, declaring His truth over our lives. ‘For He who is in you is greater than he of this world’ The enemy may shout or whisper in your ears but don’t listen to what he is saying. Listen to the voice of truth.

Praise is a weapon so when the enemy keeps on whispering lies to you praise God, declare Gods truth because the enemy is a liar . Speak it, sing it but declare Gods truth. Don’t give the enemy a foothold.
