Calling Forth Songs of Joy

 

“The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders…”

—Psalm 65:8a

King David knew a great deal about the inward fading light of early morning and the outward fading light of evening. He had observed both of these phenomena from the Judean hillside where he had tended sheep as a boy.

Many times in the waxing and waning dusk, David would play softly on his shepherd’s flute, quieting the sheep, especially the newly born lambs.

Is it any wonder that he would remember those days when he wrote these words from Psalm 65:8:

The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.

King David knew first hand that God, the One True King, is the source of all joy. In order to possess the fullness of joy, we must honor this Great King and love Him with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength.

If we do this, He will call forth joy from within the very depths of our beings.
