Surround Sounds of Joy

“I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.” Psalm 104:33 (KJV)

Singing. Everyone can do it. Some sing on key and some can’t find a key. Some sing more beautifully than others, but we can all sing to some degree or other. The point is not about whether you can sing, it is about what you sing, and to whom you are singing. Next, the question is: how long are you going to sing? The answer is, of course, “as long as I live.”

So what are we going to sing? Let’s sing praise to our God! That’s why you can sing, even if you don’t think you can. It’s not about musical ability. It’s about praise to God. If you meditate on God and his blessings, it will not be difficult to sing praise to him. Believe me, meditating on God is some of the sweetest moments you’ll ever enjoy.

Such meditating doesn’t just produce singing and praise, but it also brings a blessed flood of gladness that the singer cannot explain. It is like having a Bose “surround” sound system. The gladness comes to you crystal clear from every side, and it is so wonderful to experience. Let us be glad in the LORD!

Dear Father, thank you for the peace and happiness you give through Jesus Christ. Enable us to meditate on our Creator . . . our God . . . our Savior. Empower us with singing and praises to your glorious name. Surround us with the joy of your presence. This I pray in the name of Jesus. AMEN
