Those Who Sing

I'm thinking about all the singing and rejoicing in Zeph 3---

Elizabeth Achtemeier offered the whimsical suggestion that at least one of the reasons why God made this world is because God is a music lover. She said: "Biblical faith has always been a faith filled with the sound of song. From the song of Miriam at the time of the Exodus, through the songs of the Psalter, to the hymn Jesus and the disciples are reported to have sung at the Last Supper, to the singing of Paul and Silas in prison, and ultimately to the singing of the Hallelujah Chorus in the kingdom of God anticipated in the book of Revelation; throughout the Bible those who trust in God are consistently portrayed as
those
who
sing
songs of praise to God. The Westminster Shorter Catechism affirms that our chief end as human beings is to glorify God and to enjoy God forever. The Scriptures and the Confessions alike affirm that we were made to glorify God’s name in songs of praise and thanksgiving.
