“Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!” — Psalm 100:1-2 (ESV)
I recently had the privilege of helping lead three worship services at our church. I was reminded this morning, while reading my Bible, that singing and entering into God’s presence with music is a command from the Lord.
Think about this. How amazing is our God that He tells us to come to Him with music and singing and gladness?! What a great God we serve — one who reminds us that we have so much to sing about. He even asks us to come to Him with a joyful noise!
There is a time to come to the Lord with quietness and stillness; there is also a time for joyful singing! Sometimes I catch my young kids singing. I’ve noticed that it’s a response to a happy heart.
This week, reflect upon some of these attributes of God and allow these truths to lead you into making a joyful noise.
· God is all loving. (Isaiah 54:10)
· God is all knowing. (Isaiah 46:11)
· God is good through and through. (Psalm 119:68)
· God has good plans for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11)
· You are forgiven forever. (1 Peter 3:18)
These are just a few of the wonderful truths about the greatness of God. I think I hear a song coming right now!
Have a blessed and “song filled” week.
