Garments of Praise

“to grant to those who mourn in Zion—to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified. Isaiah 61:3

Yesterday at church, a friend and I we’re talking about how Christian music always lifts our spirits. Ever since I can remember, it’s been such an important part of my life, both at church and at home.

This morning as I awakened and was thanking God for this beautiful day, the song below popped into my head—right in the middle of my prayer time. To me, it had nothing to do with what I was praying about, but the melody was still there in my thoughts minutes later.

It’s been many years since I had thought about this song. Honestly, I could only remember singing the chorus at church, but found the entire lyrics and took a minute to listen and be blessed.

If your heart is heavy today, why not put on God’s garments of praise. Like a comfortable old coat that keeps you physically warm, you will be kept spiritually warm through His love. Your life will proclaim praise to our Father, as your nature is renewed in Him each day. You will see your world much differently, and I believe others will see you differently, too. 🎶🎶🎵🎵

Happy Monday! Have a great week!!
