LET ME BE SINGING

READ:

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
-Psalm 150:6

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalms 148-150
1 Corinthians 15:29-58

When I asked a friend how his mother was getting along, he told me that dementia had robbed her of the ability to remember a great many names and events from the past. "Even so," he added, "she can still sit down at the piano and, without sheet music, beautifully play hymns by memory."
Plato and Aristotle wrote about the helping, healing power of music 2,500 years ago. But centuries before that, the biblical record was saturated with song.
From the first mention of Jubal, "the father of all those who play the harp and flute" (Genesis 4:21), to those who "sing the song of Moses, the servant of God and the song of the Lamb" (Revelation 15:3), the pages of the Bible resonate with music. The Psalms, often called "the Bible's songbook," point us to the love and faithfulness of God. They conclude with an unending call to worship, "Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!" (Psalm 150:6).
Today, we need God's ministry of music in our hearts as much as any time in history. Whatever each day brings, may the evening find us singing, "To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; for God is my defense, my God of mercy" (59:17). - David McCasland
Lord, I don't know what will come this day or farther into the future, but I'm grateful that You're by my side. Grant me a spirit of praise and thanksgiving in whatever lies ahead.

Praise to God comes naturally when you count your blessings.

HOW PERSUADED?

In 2 Timothy 4:10, Demas - a co-labourer with Paul was floored by his love for the world. He became a victim of comfort. Today, many people are also becoming prayerless and shifting their or trust from God to uncertain riches. They are now tending towards the belief that money can fix everything.

A LESSON FROM GOLIATH

At the first sight of David, Goliath despised him. He was amazed that the children of Israel could find no other man to fight him than a young boy. As if that was not enough, Goliath did not see any conventional weapon of war on David. So he asked, "Am I a dog?" The first lesson we have to learn from this story as...More
