Saturday of the Fourth Week of Easter

Psalm 98:1-4

“Sing a new song to the LORD.” (Psalm 98: 1)

Why should we sing? Because singing engages our hearts and emotions as well as our minds, and God cares about our whole person, emotions included.

Lucky for us we have a musically talented man who attends our Bible Study sessions and behind the scenes was busy writing songs about us and our studies!  On our last night of the current study series, he brought his guitar and “engaged” all of us in song.  We sang joyfully!

The Lord wants to breathe life into our spirits, minds and bodies. Singing offers him entry into our whole being in a way that ordinary speech does not. And if we have difficulty opening our hearts, singing can open the pathway for God’s Spirit to move in. So go ahead and sing a new song! Sing because God loves us.  Sing because God has given us victory through Christ. Sing because we do not have to live steeped in guilt and shame.  Sing as our consciences are cleansed and we are given rest. Sing the new song that all the saints and angels are singing in heaven.  Sing joyfully.

Thank you Al!
