Wednesday June 6 2012:
Psalm 33:1-3. 1)“Let the godly sing with joy to the Lord,
for it is fitting to praise him. 2) Praise the Lord with melodies on the
lyre; make music for him on the ten
stringed harp. 3) Sing new songs of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp
and sing with joy.”
Music is a gift from
God! Even in the book of Genesis, we
read that Pharaoh’s courts sang praises about Sarai because of her beauty. This tells us music was used as an expression
of love and admiration even then. It is
an inherent part of worship. The Lord
loves our songs of praise. I have
discovered when I feel weary and sad, a song to the Lord changes my
demeanor. When I start to sing, the
depression disappears and my attitude changes to one of joy and elation!
David loved music. The Psalms are mostly a collection of praise
and worship! God inhabits our praise, He
is pleased when we sing praises to Him! Singing praises is an important
component of worshipping the Lord. We are instructed to sing praises and play
instruments to honour God and glorify Him!
Prayer for today: Thank you, Lord for our voices that enable us
to sing praises to you and to glorify you.
Help me to be more like David who was uninhibited by peer pressure that
tried to squelch his public praises. He
was overflowing with joy because of your presence with him and displayed his
joy by playing instruments and singing and dancing for your glory. Lord, you are great and greatly to be
praised, help me to praise you with everything I have and bring honour and glory
to your holy name. In Jesus name, Amen.
