Singing Praises
“And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped” (2 Chronicles 29:30).
Singing has always been a way for the people of God to express their appreciation of the person and work of Christ, and their joy in the Lord. It begins with Israel as a redeemed people on the banks of the Red Sea. “Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord” (Exodus 15:1). It follows right through to the heavenly company of redeemed in a future day of glory. “And they sung a new song” (Revelation 5:9).
What better time to sing praises than at the meeting in which we remember the Lord’s death. The gladness we feel because He died in our place should show in our singing. As you remember the cross of Calvary, the cost to the Lord Jesus, what He suffered before and on the cross, the three hours of absolute loneliness as He paid the price for sin, it should cause you to bow your heart in genuine worship. Remember Him today with a thankful heart, and a song of praise on your lips.
