Summer in the Psalms: Psalm 149 When I Need Rest with Rachel Britton

We all have quirks; one of mine is waking up singing. I don't play music (long gone are the days of piano and viola lessons), I don't sing in the church choir, but I do nine times out of ten, wake up singing. Not audibly, at least at first. Before I open my eyes, a song is playing in my heart and its lyrics and melody capturing my thoughts. Sometimes it's a song I heard the day before and sometimes it's not. I've only recently realized this is a quirk and not how everyone wakes up. Today, a good friend of mine, Rachel Britton, is sharing her reflection of Psalm 149 with us and reminding us of the power of praise, but even more beautifully and profoundly, to recognize this is an invitation for God is already singing over us. When we choose to praise and sing worship, we are joining the Choir Master's song. And not just that, but the song of "the Mighty Warrior who saves." Rachel Britton is a British-born award-winning author and speaker.
