Do you like to sing? Do you sing in your car? Do you sing in the shower? Do you sing in the choir? Do you sing in a band? Do you randomly sing while working in the yard? Do you sing songs of praise? Do you know God likes to hear us sing, whether we are good at it or not?
Some of us like to sing in the car. We drive down the road all by ourselves and sing out. We really put a lot into it. Our faces reflect the joy we feel while singing. We have our favorite songs on which we really cut loose. Oh, what joy we have with those!
Singing is good for the soul. It also pleases God when we sing praises to him. Some of us are not good singers (that’s me). But some of us are wonderful singers. Yet singing to God is wonderful, whether we are good at singing or not. We have amazing old time hymns we can sing. There are new contemporary Christian songs that pull at our heartstrings or cause us to explode with joy. There is no shortage of songs we can sing to praise God.
God loves to hear us sing about his wonderful works. We can sing about how he has worked in our lives or someone we know. We can sing about the beautiful creation God has created. Singing to tell the story of God to others not only pleases God but educates others. Singing is good for us, good for others, and pleases God.
I pray we all sing God’s praises. I pray we randomly sing about all that God has done for us. I pray each one of us will see God’s wonderful creation and sing about it. Sing the old hymns. Sing the new songs. Sing about God’s creation. Sing God’s praises.
Psalm 105:1-2
O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples.
Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wonderful works.
