"Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the
psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him
a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise."
Psalm 33:2,3
MUSIC TO GOD'S EARS
Christians across the world make beautiful music as they
unite their talents and abilities to praise God. They
believe that everything they do in faith brings glory to
His name. Well, guess what? What they believe is so
true!!! All the sounds of the working Christian are
beautiful music to God's ears! He rejoices in the
various ways His people praise Him by what they think,
say, and do.
"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to
take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou
was slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out
of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation."
Revelation 5:9
Since Christ Jesus was slain, and by His blood ransomed
all people for God, heaven is ringing with praise to Him
for gaining followers from every tribe and language,
people and nation. Let the redeemed people of God give
the Savior glory and honor also here on earth. For He
has broken the power of sin over them and has set them
free to serve the living God. Let them sing, "Hosanna
to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the
name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest." (Matthew
21:9)
"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart
to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto
God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Ephesians 5:19,20
Singing is an act of worship by which we praise and
glorify God for His mercy and goodness. We are
encouraged to speak to one another with psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs. We edify one another in this way.
Christian hymns touch some of our deepest needs.
"And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise
unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall
trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:3
The Holy Spirit uses hymns to open hearts to the Gospel
message of Salvation through faith in Jesus. God's
people have so many wonderful blessings to sing about.
"Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all
his wondrous works." 1Chronicles 16:9
"Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me
so...." We all surely remember this hymn of praise as a
child. Let us continue to practice the language of
praise. As we do, we will find there to be no lack of
words to say, or hymns to sing, in praise of our loving
God. We should always be "Music to God's Ears!" "Yes,
Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves
me. The Bible tells me so!"
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart
trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart
greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him."
Psalm 28:7
God Bless You All, as you sing out loud with a joyful
sound that would be pleasing to God's ears.
"Lord Dictated Them"
