Sing unto the Lord

O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth. Psalm 96:1

Bible Reading: 2Chronicles 5:12-14

Reference to music in the Bible started in Genesis 4:21 where the Bible spoke about Jubal who was a descendant of Cain and the father all who play the harp and organ. Also, in the time of Moses after the Israelites successfully crossed the Red Sea, the people sang and danced unto God Exodus 15:20-21. God loves music and he rejoices when we praise and worship Him in spirit and in truth. In today’s reading, the Bible records that as the people were singing and praising God, He came down in their midst and great things happened. The book of Psalms also attests to the importance of singing unto God.

One benefit of singing unto God as seen in our text is that it brings down God’s presence into one’s life. We should praise God for who He is and for what He has done for us. When we sing, we express our heartfelt love and gratitude to God. Another benefit of singing is that it makes God happy with us and we are also filled with joy when we sing Zephaniah 3:17, Psalm126:2. Our singing should not be limited to church alone, but we are to praise Him everywhere and in all situations.

Action Point: As long as you live, always sing unto the Lord and you will see Him show up for you in all areas of your life.

Daily Confession: Lord, I thank you for your faithfulness and your goodness over my life and family this year. Pray for divine intervention in countries that are experiencing famine, diseases and wars.

Intercessory prayer: Thank God for answering our prayers whenever we call on Him.

Song: Thou art worthy O Lord,

To receive glory, honour, and power

For Thou has created all things and for Thy pleasure

They are and were created
