Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.
PSALM 95:1-2
DEVOTIONAL
“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.” These words from Psalm 95:1-2 call us to worship and praise God with all our hearts and voices.
As we come into the presence of God, we are reminded of his goodness and faithfulness towards us. He is the Rock of our salvation, our refuge in times of trouble, and our hope for the future. We can trust in him no matter what circumstances we may face in life, for he is the one who holds our lives in his hands.
In response to all that God has done for us, we are called to give thanks and praise. We are to come before him with open hearts, ready to worship and adore him. When we sing and shout for joy, we are declaring our love and devotion to him. We are acknowledging that he alone is worthy of our worship and praise.
Music and song are powerful tools for expressing our love for God. They can help us to connect with him in a deeper way and to express the emotions of our hearts.
When we sing and play music, we are offering up a sacrifice of praise to God. We are giving him the best of ourselves, using our talents and gifts to glorify him.
But our worship is not just about singing and playing music. It is also about living our lives in a way that honors God. We are called to love and serve others, to be kind and compassionate, and to seek justice and mercy.
When we do these things, we are offering our lives as a living sacrifice to God. We are showing our gratitude for all that he has done for us, and we are declaring our commitment to follow him.
So let us come before the Lord with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. Let us worship him with all our hearts, minds, and souls.
Let us declare his goodness and faithfulness, and give him the praise he deserves. And let us live our lives in a way that honors him, so that others may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven.
Let us remember that worship is not just about singing songs or playing music. It is about living our lives in a way that honors God. It is about giving him the best of ourselves, using our talents and gifts to glorify him.
When we come before him with thanksgiving and praise, we are acknowledging his goodness and faithfulness towards us.
And when we live our lives in a way that honors him, we are showing our gratitude and commitment to follow him. So let us worship the Lord with all our hearts and voices, and let us live our lives as a living sacrifice to him.
