Today’s scripture:
Isaiah 49:13
I’ve written this before, but one of my favorite ways of praising and
glorifying God is through song. There is something that just touches my heart
in a way that few other things can.
I really love singing the scriptures. We often think of such songs coming from
psalms, and indeed they do, but so many other words of praise could be set to
music. And although I’m no composer, I sometimes find myself putting verses I
read to a random tune … and those words become a song of praise.
Words like those in today’s verse. I start out loud and boisterous: “Sing, O
heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains.”
Then the meter slows. Forte quiets to pianissimo … “For the LORD has comforted
His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted.”
If you’re a musician—and even if you’re not—try composing your own songs of
praise. And you will find joy!
