Sing praise to the Lord.
How often do you sing? Do you find yourself wandering around with a melody in your heart. I do. Lately though its been theme songs from Annie
This is so unsatisfying. I love it when I have a grande old hymn rolling around in my head over and over. It makes me remember that all is well God is here!
Zeria has just discovered singing in church. We go to the evening service and she opens up the hymn book and lets her mouth make a "joyful noise" She doesn't know most of the words...so she makes up her own. Their all about Jesus, and God and how happy she is. Sometimes if a word from the hymn attracts her she will add that one in. She is truely making a joyful noise. And everyone in our small church gets a big smile from it! She is doing what we are called to.
I have found when I get a flat tire, or the battery's dead in my car I have 2 choices. Scream, cry, or sing. When I choose the latter I'm so much more refreshed. Sing sing praise songs, sing Annie songs
It will do your heart good. You don't have a good voice?? Who cares!? I don't as long as you sing.
My father was raised to make a joyful noise. He sings louder then anybody in the whole church. (By many decibals) In a previous church he received an anonymous letter asking him not to sing anymore because it bothered them. This was so wrong. My father was putting into practice what the rest of us need to do.
Music is therapeutic. Think about it when do you feel the most relaxed. When your dancing around the living room singing loud to your favorite song. Or you get a favorite on the radio in the car and you begin to jive to it.
These are the moments all the nasty, depressing thoughts of the world leave, and you are truely enjoying yourself
Is it any wonder God commanded us to sing so many times in the Bible. Even as I slog through Isaiah. Again a whole chapter saying Sing to the Lord!! So I'm gonna start humming more, and complaining less (I hope)

I sing all the time. Even when I am in a sour mood. It usually makes me feel better. I think it is great the Zeria sings in church. Even if it isn't on key and she doesn't know the words I think the god you woship loves it. I am sure he is selectively tone-deaf. All he wants is the joy!
I love to sing, but I don't do it much cause I don't sing out loud too much in public, cause I sound so bad. But at home I love to sing to my God!
