Can u keep yourself from singing?

If you ever google the benefits of singing, u'll be surprised at the tons of research that justify it. From physical to intellectual and finally to emotional health. In a nutshell, singing is good for one's overall well-being! That explains why k-boxing is so popular.

If singing is deem as such an importance by researchers, what's more to worship & praise to our God? (:

It's always easy to engage in praise & worship when things are going well. But when things turn wrong, we're quick to stuck in self-pity & discouragement that silence our praises. I like the song we sing in sunday sch:

How can I keep from singing Your praise?
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love?
How can I keep from shouting Your name?
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

Such a beautifully written song. I'm reminded once again to give thanks to God for every situation, be it good or bad. The art of thanksgiving is not one that can be mastered overnight, it takes time to nurture. I guess the msot thankful ppl in this world will be none other than children. Check out their amazingly brightly litted face whenever they receive a surprise. And not forgetting the way they run to the arms of mommies & daddies whenever they're home. No wonder Jesus told his disciples that ".. for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these [children]." Matthew 19:14

No matter how great or horrible our day turns out to be, surely there is one thing to give thanks to; and that is God's sacrificial & unconditional love for us. Even when things turn wrong, we can be sure that Jesus has overcomed all the challenges with His blood, and through this, we're redeemed.

I sing.. not becos of what God can offer me, but what He has already done for me.
