It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night,
On an instrument of ten strings, on the lute, and on the harp, with harmonious sound.
For You, LORD, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.
On an instrument of ten strings, on the lute, and on the harp, with harmonious sound.
For You, LORD, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.
Psalm 92:1-4
Today I'm thankful for the gift of song. All we do and say and think is to be done with an attitude of praise and worship. But God has given us musical abilities just for the purpose of praising and worshipping Him. He's given our hearts the desire to worship and when our heart can hold it no longer, we can sing out our worship with the gift of song.
We have voices that are made to worship in melody and harmony, to sing a tune of notes and words that, when formed together, shout the gladness of our hearts at the greatness of our God.
We may not always feel like it because difficult circumstances have left us wondering... But we sing out anyway as a sacrifice of praise because we know that He is still worthy.
Our rhythmic voices join us together as a family as we rise our thanksgiving to the heavens and to the very throne room of God as a sweet-smelling sacrifice. And as we join with the Lord, we are filled with refreshment and joy.
Someday my voice will sing as well as my heart (and my heart even more so!), but until then I will keep singing the praises of my God and know that He hears my heart. Praise the Lord!
What are you thankful for?
Hi Dorci, I'm also thankful for music, as well as my family, my job, our church, and a lot of other things too. I hope you have a nice week!
