ALL my life I have been interested in music. I enjoy singing, playing and listening to it.

But did you know that nature sings too?

In the Bible it says: "The fields are covered with sheep; the valleys are full of wheat. Everything shouts and sings for joy.

"Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy."

In Genesis, God promises that "as long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease." At this season of harvest, look around at the beauty of nature and remember God the creator and thank Him that He keeps His promises.

God loves you and is interested in every part of your life. He gave His only son Jesus to die for all the sins we’ve all committed so that we can have a personal relationship with Him. 1 John says "but if we confess our sins to God, He will keep his promise and do what is right: He will forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing."

God wants to give you peace and joy in your soul so that whatever life throws your way, you can trust that He will take you through it. Then you can join the psalmist who said "I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me."
