We do it every Sunday. When was the last time you thought about WHY we do it? Good thoughts to prep you for tomorrow:
Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is the King of all the earth;
sing praises with a psalm! --from Psalm 47
sing praises with a psalm! --from Psalm 47
Why Does God Want Us to Sing?
1. Because singing helps us remember. When Moses was getting ready to lead the people into the promised land... God told Moses to teach the people a song... so they would remember.
2. Helps us combine doctrine & devotion.
Music has the capacity to stir us emotionally... in a way that stating the very same truths does not often have.
3. Aligns us with Heaven, now and future
God is being praised by creatures above
We shall sing Him sin-free one day with people from every tribe, tongue, and nation.
