    “Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare His
    deeds among the people.” – Psalm 9:11

    SINGING TO the Lord and TALKING ABOUT the Lord

    What do you like to sing?  Who do you like to sing to?  Who and what do you like to talk about with others?  David gives some great instructions for our singing and our talking in Psalm 9:11.  

    We are to be singing with worship to the Lord and sharing about the work of the Lord with everyone!! 

    So let us sing to the Lord in heaven above and share about the Lord on earth below!

    Let us consider a couple of practical questions for applying Psalm 9:11.
    How has God been working in your life that causes you to sing to Him?
    For instance:
    After crossing through the Red Sea on dry land we find in Exodus 15:1 that “Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the LORD, saying, “I will sing to the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”
    Psalm 13:6  I will sing to the LORD because He has dealt bountifully with me.
    Psalm 89:1  I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.

    With those examples how has God been working in your life that causes you to want to sing to Him?  Be sure and sing to Him today!

    How has God been working in your life that causes you to want to share about Him?
    For instance:
    Psalm 66:16  Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul.
    Psalm 71:17  O God, You have taught me from my youth; and to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
    Psalm 145:6  Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, And I will declare Your greatness.

    With those examples how has God been working in your life that causes you to want to share with others what He has been doing in you and for you?  Be sure and share with someone today!

  • Verse to DATE the Word on May 19 (5/19) is Ephesians 5:19

    Verse to DATE the Word on May 19 (5/19) is Ephesians 5:19

    “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing 
    and making melody in your heart to the Lord,” – Ephesians 5:19
    A Spirit-filled believer is Singing!

    Do you love to sing?  I love to sing but no one around me loves to hear the sound of my singing.  I have been asked to sing many SOLOS – so low no one can hear me.  At Easter I was asked to sing ON A HILL FAR AWAY.   

    When it comes to singing, we read that God sings over us.  Zephaniah 3:17 says, “The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness….He will rejoice over you with singing.”   We know that God loves to hear singing and that heaven is filled with singing.  We read of singing in Revelations 5 and 14.  Revelation 15:3 says, “They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!”  Every now and then there comes the question of what will we be doing in heaven.  Well, we will be singing a lot!

    But before we get to heaven we are instructed to SING here on earth. We are to sing with others. We are to sing to others. We are to sing in our hearts.  (I hear that part of the verse quoted to me a lot!)  We are to sing Psalms.  We are to sing hymns.  We are to sing spiritual songs, known today as praise and worship.  

    If I may give an opinion on songs to sing, I have found it helpful to sing songs ABOUT the Lord and songs TO the Lord.  

    As you consider putting into action Ephesians 5:19 make the commitment that you are going to sing.  Sing in the shower.  Sing alone in your car.  Sing in your heart.  And if you can sing and not hurt other people’s ears (like me) sing in public.   Lift up your voice to the Lord.  

    As you consider putting into action Ephesians 5:19 I encourage you to have a hymnal to use for your quiet time and as well use your computer to listen to and sing praise and worship songs.  Have a diet of songs that allows you to sing ABOUT God and to sing TO God!  

    I do believe that when a person gets saved God puts in their heart a new song.  (Psalm 40:3  says, “He has put a new song in my mouth — Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the LORD.”)  And I connect Ephesians 5:18 to Ephesians 5:19. When you are filled with the Spirit you will be singing songs about God and to God!
