A Joyful Noise to the Lord?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who make a joyful noise to the Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
The psalms are filled with praise for what God has and will do.
Psalm 98:4-9 (ESV) describes a full-blown praise service including musical instruments. The scene unfolds as all the earth joins in the celebration.
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and the sound of melody!
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!
Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
the world and those who dwell in it!
Let the rivers clap their hands;
let the hills sing for joy together
before the Lord, for he comes
to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with equity.”
Take more than a moment to praise God. Listen as the earth sings God’s praise.
