Psalm 118:15 Shouts
of joy and victory resound in the tents of
the righteous: “The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
What shouts
and sounds take place where you live?
Are there
shouts of anger and frustration, sounds of sarcasm, fear, and mistrust?
Sometimes our
homes are full of nothing but loud complaints and condemnation of everything
and everyone. We don’t realize it, but
we become overrun with the details of life and the noise in our home is
deafening as we all go about our busyness and voices resound as grating as the
scraping of nails on a chalkboard, until we all want to cover our ears and
yell, “Stop!”
Inside the “tents
of the righteous” should be shouts of joy and victory because of what the Lord
has done for us.
When we wake,
we can voice our anticipation of a good day full of good things from a good
God.
We can share
with our family the goodness of God by thanking him for the clothes we wear,
the food we eat, and the car we drive.
We can recall
his faithfulness yesterday and proclaim his goodness for tomorrow, as we live
for today.
What sounds
are heard where you live, in the ears of those in your home?
