Here is some incredible music to listen to while we read about singing!
My daughter and I have this ongoing …um… disagreement between us. No matter how much I beg, bribe, or cajole, she will not sing a note. She won’t even open up her mouth and try!
In church during hymns or praise songs… lips sealed. In the car with the radio blasting… lips sealed. In the shower…. OK, I have no idea because I’m not in there, but I’ll bet it’s lips sealed!
She will admit that she doesn’t know if she can sing or not because she’s never tried it. No one has ever said to her “You are a horrible singer” or “Please don’t ever sing.” She’s just decided that she doesn’t like it and doesn’t want to try it. (Same argument with vegetables, fish, and other things, but hey, she’s twelve, right?)
We can become this way as Christians as well… deciding a ministry is not possible or not for us without any real reason. In today’s reading, look again at verse 4 and think about what we are to make known.
We are to SING to the Lord for he has done glorious things. It is not our abilities, accomplishments or aptitudes that matter, but the power and blessings of God. When we get caught up in worrying about whether we can accomplish a task God has set before us, we’re leaving the most important element out of the equation… What GOD has done.
And today’s passage doesn’t give us the out to sing if we are trained or sing if we can keep a tune, it just says “SING!” (and shout, but we don’t want to scare anyone!) and sing out loud enough for everyone to hear, because God is with us.
Daily Challenge: Sing to the Lord today. Think about doing something that you could never do on your own, but that God might be wanting to do through you.
