Sing Praises
“It is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely” (Psalm 147:1).
Songs of praise to God are pleasant to His ear. He enjoys hearing them — and it also cheers us when we sing. The problem is, quite often, that we don’t do it enough. We are so busy with our own lives that we don’t spend time in praising the Savior, or we are too busy listening to something with earphones plugged into our ears.
“I create the fruit of the lips” (Isaiah 57:19).
“He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God” (Psalm 40:3).
God implants praise in our hearts and on our lips, and it delights His heart when we give it back to Him in audible songs of praise. Let your heart sing to the Lord today. (Sing with your lips too, of course, but the content of your heart is what counts.) Praise the One who was willing to send His Son to die for you. Let Him know that you appreciate Him and what He’s done, and is doing, for you. “Sing unto God, sing praises to His name: extol Him…and rejoice before Him” (Psalm 68:4).
