Sing It

Psalms 137:4 (KJV) How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?

I don’t think Psalms ever answers this question.  It’s a question that we might ask in a slightly different way.  We might ask “how can I sing when I feel so bad, or “how can I sing when things are going so poorly?

From another angle I would say that this is the standard situation of Christians today.  We do not have a land.  We tend to forget that as Americans.  We tend to think in some strange way that we have become the promised land.  I think it’s because God has blessed us so much, but keep in mind that this is still a strange land for believers.

So?  Some things never change.  Some answers never change.  It reminds me of a chorus that talks about having a song in my heart.  We can sing because Jesus loves us and has set up housekeeping inside of us.  What a joy.
