Have you ever noticed that a happy child at play sings? They hum or narrate their activities to a melodic tune. It’s no wonder the Bible tells us to “make a joyful noise to the Lord,” because a joyful heart is one that overflows into sound. What is your sound? Is it a song? Do you find yourself singing to God throughout the day? Do worship songs get stuck in your head between services? Is your prayer simply talking to Him while you’re driving? Do you ever feel overwhelmed by a sunrise, a sunset, or the memory of the blessings in your life? Maybe your worship comes through fragments of Scripture that slip from your lips in adoration. Maybe it’s expressed through playing an instrument, drawing, or painting. We were made to worship, create, and be joyful. We were not created to walk with God in a constant state of somber, stoic sadness. God made beauty—He created the sunrise, the butterfly, and the flowers. He gave us voices and creativity. He even allowed us to create instruments. So find your way to overflow. Find your way to worship. Let the wonder of God fill you with passion and joy today—and watch how it overflows into something beautiful.
