Sing To The Lord

“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.” Psalm 40:3

God knows the power of music and He told Moses in Deuteronomy 31:19 to “write down this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it”.

God knew that long after Moses was gone, when He had brought Israel into the Promised Land, they would rebel and worship other gods. So He told Moses, “This song will testify against them because it will not be forgotten by their descendants” Deuteronomy31: 21.

Songs are nearly impossible to forget, so it’s wise to be selective about what we sing. Some songs are just for fun, and that’s fine, but we benefit from songs that boast in Jesus and encourage our faith.

One of the ways we “make” the most of every opportunity” is when we speak “to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.” So “sing and make music from your heart to the Lord” Ephesians 5:15-19.

Songs can be an indicator of the direction of our heart. Do the words make much of Jesus? Do we sing them wholeheartedly?

What we sing will influence what we believe, so choose wisely and sing heartily.

“Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.” Psalm 105:2
