Hi, this is Rebecca Eaton, and it is my joy and privilege to serve as the Director of Donor Partners

here at Paul Trip Ministries. Our community of generous partners makes this ministry possible.

And as we approach the end of 2024, we are relying on our donors to be generous again.

If Wednesday's word has been a blessing to you this year, please invest in the gospel

work that we are doing by making a tax deductible donation. You can do that online at

paultrip.com slash give, send a check in the mail, or contribute a gift of stock. Check the show

notes for all those details. Thank you so much for helping us connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

Welcome to Paul Tripp's Wednesday's Word podcast.

I'm Dalton, a member of the Paul Trip

Ministries team. Join me each week as I read aloud Paul's popular Wednesday's word devotional.

You can subscribe to our email list to receive this devotional straight to your inbox each week,

or you can read online at paultrip.com slash Wednesday or on Facebook, Instagram, and the Paul

Tripp app. This week, Paul reflects on the gift of song and the Paul Trip app.

This week, Paul reflects on the gift of song and how Mary's hymn of praise

can lead your heart to rest and rejoice

in the person, work, and presence of Jesus.

Here's this week's Wednesday's work. When she was five years old, our granddaughter told us, I made up a song about kittens.

Let's hear it, we said, and off she went singing the song she made up on the fly.

God hardwired us to sing.

There's probably not a day in your life where you haven't sung or haven't heard a song. We sing spiritual songs, political songs, love songs,

protest songs, happy songs, funeral songs, painful songs, and joyful songs. Little children

sing nursery rhymes and the elderly hum age-old tunes.
