Outside our bedroom window a little brown-speckled bird has made her nest. She has been there for a few weeks now, but I had forgotten she was there until recently.  While going to bed, I heard her singing.  I thought to myself, “This bird has its days and nights mixed up.” In the middle of the darkness she struck up the band and tweeted out a song. I thought, “What a good way to close out the day…singing unto the Lord.” 

      Just a few minutes later the bottom fell out. Lightning, thunder, and buckets of rain fell over our house. The tweeting was drowned out by the howling wind and the booming thunder.

     The next morning during my devotion I heard her singing again outside the window. As I pondered her melody I said, “Wait a minute – this bird was singing just before the storm hit, and she is still singing after the storm!” She didn’t lose her song during the storm!

     The storms will come and the storms will go, and for many the severity of the storm will cause their song to cease. But God wants us to keep singing. If He was worthy to worship before the storm, I assure you, He is just as worthy to worship after the storm. May God help us to keep our song during the night. Keep singing in the rain!
