2 Chronicles 20:22

As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men...... who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.

Oh, if only we would worry less about our problems and sing and praise more! There are thousands of things that shackle us that could be turned into instruments of music, if we just knew how to do it. Think of those people who ponder, mediate, and weigh the affairs of life, and who continually study the mysterious inner workings of God's providence, wondering why they suffer burdens and are opposed and battled on every front. How different their lives would be, and how much more joyful, if they would stop indulging in self-centered and inward thinking and instead would daily lift their experiences to God, praising Him for them.

It is easier to sing your worries away than to reason them away. Why not sing in the morning? And don't forget to sing in the evening. Oh, that we might offer up song after song of continual praise throughout our day! Taken from Streams In the Desert.
