“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.
