Whispers of His Power - 30 Days of InspirationSample

Converse with one another in the music of psalms, in hymns and songs of the spiritual life, praise the Lord heartily with words and music, and render thanks to God the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ at all times and for all things.

Eph. 5:19 (Moffatt)

Singing and striking the strings with your heart unto the Lord. (Rotherham)

When I was small I used to think that, if I wanted very much to do a thing, that thing was probably wrong. And if I didn’t want to do it, it was probably right. That is not quite fair to God, for His commandments are not grievous, not heavy and burdensome (1 John 5:3). It is worthwhile to look out for the words in the Bible that tell us to do pleasant things, like singing. Psalm 71:23 says: My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto Thee; and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed. How true that is; which of us does not know it? The way of escape from the wilderness (see Psalm 63, the wilderness psalm) is by the way of praise and song.
