Sing Praises!

Sing Praises!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who sing praise to your name, O Most High. In Jesus’ name, amen.

I know people who sing in the choir. I also know those who prefer just singing along with the choir while standing or seated with the rest of the congregation. And I also know people who sing only when they are alone. Whether a song leader, or one who is tone deaf, God hears all of our voices.

Psalm 92:1-5 (ESV) is about singing praises along with musical instruments.

“It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,
to the music of the lute and the harp,
to the melody of the lyre.
For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.

How great are your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep! ”

Is your heart filled with praise? Stop now and think of a favorite God-honoring song. Hum or sing the song to the Lord. Give thanks.

With My Whole Heart?

With My Whole Heart?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who give thanks to God with their whole heart. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Imagine if two verses could capture the description of a faithful believer’s heart. The psalmist does this in Psalm 9:1-2 (ESV) in just thirty-seven words. Written from a single person’s perspective, it is instructive for believers everywhere:

“I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.”

Don’t delay. Reread the text. Consider memorizing these two verses. As you go about recounting God’s wonderful deeds, your testimony can touch someone who does not know God.
