Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those eager to address each other with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Imagine how life would be if people started to greet each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. It would certainly be uplifting, and it would likely bring smiles and head nods.
Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5:19 (ESV) writes about this.
“Addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart.”
Greet the next person you meet with one of the Psalms, a hymn, or a spiritual song. Start to sing the words and the melody of a traditional hymn or a modern Christian praise song. Will they be shocked? Will they join you?
Relationships build upon such shared experiences, and a memorable greeting will go a long way toward affirming those we encounter. Greet someone in this way. Tell me what happens.
Oh! But remember Proverbs 27:14.
“Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing.”
