Sing to the LORD a new song!
I got up a bit earlier than usual today, made some coffee, checked out facebook, read Psalm 33 and am thinking that today would be a good day to sing to the LORD... Actually, every day is a good day to sing to the LORD. I love to sing. Problem is: not many around me like me to sing. My granddaughter says I sing like a man. I'm a couple octaves lower than your average woman. I'm thinking my voice is unique. But, for the sake of others, I usually just sing when there aren't too many people around. Course, there are the times when I break out in singing God's praises when everyone is least expecting it. Sometimes, I even dance to it. I do get a few sideways glances when I do that, especially in places like Walmart. But, I get strange looks even at church when I sing and sway to the music. It's OK. I'm getting use to that. My granddaughter (and some of the Sunday School) just look at me kind of strange. I get these looks like "don't you think you should stop?" But, I think they're getting use to it, too.
Singing is good, whether you're singing in the choir (they usually don't invite me to sing in choirs) or at home alone. Singing helps us to express our inmost thoughts and feelings. What is hidden deep down inside of us, comes to the light through words.
We breathe the words. It was through the breath of God that all things were made. He spoke and it was. It came to be.
Words can hurt. We need to be cautious that we're not destroying others with our words. But, singing to the LORD, singing His praises, now that's a good thing. Sing the praises of God. Sing praises to the LORD. Use your words wisely, put them to song and give glory to the Word, who is God.
Sing joyfully to the LORD, this day and everyday even as you trust in His holy name.
