The other day, I got out of bed a little after four o’clock in the morning and wandered into the kitchen. There was a beam of light showing at the horizon and suddenly I heard a robin announcing a new day. This was certainly an early bird singing in a new morning. Even though it had been a rough night with rain and wind, it did not keep the bird from starting the day with a song in it’s heart.

It made me think that I do not always wake up with a song in my heart. When I am troubled, I take it to bed with me and still think about it when I wake up.

It takes me back to Jesus’ promise in John 14:27 where He tells us, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth...”

We can have peace each moment of the day and start a new day with a song in our heart just like the robin starts the day with a wake-up call.
