By Emma Danzey

Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the phrase of Christ dwell in you richly, instructing and admonishing each other in all knowledge, singing psalms and hymns and religious songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”

Music is wonderful. It’s a approach of expressing our feelings artistically. It joins us with others. It’s distinctive, reveals an individual’s type, and performs an enormous function in tradition as an entire. Are you able to assume again to 2 or three particular moments when God used a tune to encourage you in your religion? What about two or three worship songs that you simply can not hear with out remembering a candy second of worship to the Lord? Music is an absolute present. Whether or not we ourselves are musically gifted or not, we are able to all respect and make joyful noises to our nice God.

Let’s pray:

Creator of All,

After we are tempted in the present day to despair, we pray that You’ll “flip our mourning into joyful dancing.

And I heard the sound of harpists taking part in their harps. They sang as if it had been a brand new tune earlier than the throne.” We reward You that we will have fun You in tune sooner or later. Father, You’re worthy to be eternally praised. Thank You for creating vocal cords to sing.
