We’re singing 

 

The Psalms have been called a songbook for God’s people.  I’ve even heard of some churches specifically using them only for music.  I could debate Christian music with people for hours because of how I was raised and some of that would be getting into a pointless argument.  Mostly because I’ve seen too many well-meaning church goers who only like certain styles of music.  Instead, I want to use this blog to encourage you to praise God.  Why because like King David we all need a “But as for me moment.”  Some of you just said, “Do what now?”  Before you completely make the Scooby Doo confused look let me explain what I mean.  We need music that points our hearts to God.  You need to seek and praise God because it gets your focus off of you and on Him.  I’ve seen this thing on facebook that as a Christian makes zero sense to me.  It says,  “It’s Sunday time to get my praise on.”  If your relationship with God doesn’t cause you to praise God, the rest of the week and you only sing praise to Him on Sunday you might need to read your Bible and ask some questions about what you claim to believe.  

 

Psalm 59:16-17 is about to drive my point home.  

 

“But as for me, I will sing about your power.  Each morning, I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.  For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.  O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.”  

 

Every morning David is praising God.  That’s more than one day a week.  

 

In Ephesians 5:18-20 we are called to praise God.  

 

“Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life.  Instead be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves and making music to the Lord in your hearts.  And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”  

 

Kari Jobe said it best in her song called I’m singing.  

 

“I’m singing 

To the God who brings redemption to the nations

Kings and oceans bow to Him in praise 

And I’m singing to the God 

Who wrote the book on our salvation 

To the One who covers me in grace”. 

 

We owe our Creator and redeemer praise.
