Lenten Reflection - March 25, 2009

Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his suffering ones.
Isaiah 49:13


SING, SING, SING!

What do we have to do to emphasize enough how important it is to sing to the Lord?

The word sing is in the Bible in 75 different verses. Isaiah has 16 verses and Psalms has 31. Doesn’t that tell us that singing is a very important part of how we are to praise God?

Singing is a wonderful way to praise God, and when you sing you pray twice, but we need to remember that speaking is a form of singing also. I know some people think they can not sing or that they do not have a very good voice. However, when we are singing to God, it is beautiful music and he loves us whether we think it sounds nice or not.

So SING, SING, SING FOR JOY. God is always listening.
