Turn Your Sorrow into a Song

Both Job and the Psalmist wrote of songs in the night. Songs are simply life set to music. We sing songs of joy and sometimes we sing sorrows song, night songs. Sorrow may make us better or bitter. Some turn their sorrow into addictions others turn them into songs. The book of Psalms is the songbook of the Bible and it spans the spectrum of human experience and emotion. In the New Testament there are many references to the Psalms. Jesus sang Psalm 22 from the cross in the midst of the horror and the suffering of his crucifixion. Paul and Silas sang at midnight from a Philippian jail, beaten and bleeding but neither broken nor bowed. In the midst of your own pain and sorrow God will give you a song. He still gives songs in the night.
