Thought for Today: Tuesday October 14

Haydn, the great musician, was once asked why his church music was so cheerful. He replied: “When I think upon YHVH, my heart is so full of joy that the notes dance and leap, as it were, from my pen, and since YHVH has given me a cheerful heart, it will be pardoned me that I serve Him with a cheerful spirit.” Haydn discovered the secret to lasting joy: “I think on YHVH Elohiym” – when we turn our minds and hearts to His Power and His Love for us, we cannot help it to be joyful.
