This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Sing with Thanksgiving.
When we sing sometimes at church we can go through the motion. But don’forget we are singing to God Himself during our Sunday worship service as part of one way of glorifying God.
Hear Colossians 3:16: “Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
The command is clear: You are to be singing “with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
Singing is not about pleasing us first. It is about thanking God. Those who are leading us in songs of worship aren’t there to please you first; they are to please God first.
As application pray right now before you even get to church. Pray to God that you would sing to Him in a way that will glorify Him.
Focus on the spiritual truths the song teaches. Songs that has biblical truths will be good for your soul. It will make you love God more if you meditate on it.
Sing. Sing not for someone behind you or next to you. Sing for God. Ask: What truths have you found from the lyrics of songs from Sunday morning that leads you to love Jesus more? Let that fuel how you sing! He is worthy of thanksgiving and praise, Amen?
