Martin Luther wrote "Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy, for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts".
Music is the language of emotions in the same way that speech is the language of the intellect. It can express the inexpressible. When words alone or musical notes alone are insufficient, the simple song can blend the two together in an eloquent statement of glorious praise.
In heaven, the occupation of the angels is eternal praise (Revelation 5.11-13). Music is a symbol of our sacred responsibility to glorify God and enjoy him forever.
Shout Praises To The Lord!
" It is wonderful to be grateful and to sing your praises, Lord Most High! It is wonderful each morning to tell about your love and at night to announce how faithful you are." Psalm 92.1,2
To praise the Lord with your whole heart is the most selfless act you can experience in your life. Sometimes our prayers contain a bit of selfishness, even if the asking is on behalf of others.
On the other hand, praise is a gift that is freely given in adoration of the awesome God. It demands a reverent attitude of the body, a focused mind, an energetic emotion from the heart, and a submissive spirit. Our songs and words are sent out with no expectation of getting something in return. Praise is an expression of unconditional love.
It is good to sing and praise God for his goodness. Don't hold back in expressing your joy.
Have a Blessed Day Everyone! God Bless You All!
