WHY and HOW WE WORSHIP IN SONGS
Psalm 47:7
For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.
This is a day of worship. We have reason to gather with other believers to give thanks to God for all He has done for us. Yes some gathered yesterday and some on other days. We remember that it is not about the day or the place but about the Lord of the Sabbath, Christ Jesus.
We sing songs to Him, an expression of our hearts. Psalm 47:7, says we should do it with understanding!
The lyrics we must know, not just flowing with the melody or the beauty of the sound. The message is in the lyrics.
What are we saying?
A lot of secular music exists today with junk as lyrics. The listeners are interested in a line lyric, then they go ahead to enjoy and dance to the instrumentation or beats as it is called. Even some acclaimed gospel songs are no gospels!
What did the apostles teach by the Holy Spirit?
Ephesians 5:19
speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
That is what they practiced and it should remain the same for us.
We are different, our music speaks, and also makes melody!
Another aspect we must consider, is our skill on the instrument. When we worship God or edify one another in music, we should "play it right".
We should even play it better than the secular for we are not just gifted but anointed. We are not just seeking to make money or an activity we are in the presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and we don't offer a vain or improper offering. Selah
Psalms 33:3
Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
* Sing new songs
* Play skillfully
It is all an offering to God, and yet we do have a nice time doing it. Our Spirit is elated, then we know God is glorified. Halleluyah.
That is why we have hymns of centuries still evergreen and never dying.
O help us Good Lord.
May our worship always be acceptable to God.
May we worship with understanding and play the instruments skillfully.
I see a new song in your mouth.
Do have an awesome time in His presence with the brethren today and always.
PRAYER
Loving Father I praise You, I worship you with the angels, I bow before You with the Elders I worship You with all Your children. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.
He calls us blessed.
Love
@the watcher
