Choir Practice

With their voices they shall sing together, break forth into joy, sing together!”                 Isaiah 52:8-9
I like robust music. I like quiet contemplative music. I like doctrinal music. I like music that speaks from the heart of the redeemed. I like music. That’s good because God says to sing! The psalmist said, “Come before His presence with singing.” Try “Holy, Holy, Holy” by Reginald Heber. Isaiah says, “Shout for joy.”  Try “Praise Him, Praise Him” by Fanny Crosby.
But God asks us to do one more thing. While we can sing His praises in our daily devotions, we must also be singing in concert with our fellow believers. Unless we are disabled we should be singing together with our brothers and sisters in Christ every time we can get together and especially on the Lord’s Day. The Book of Revelation pictures millions of redeemed singing together in heaven. What a sound that choir will present. Since we will be singing together there, we should be practicing our songs together down here. God loves to hear our singing and loves to hear us doing it together.

Dear Father, Thank you for giving us a reason to sing. Amen.
