Read: Psalm 95, 1-7
This scripture invites us to sing and shout aloud to the rock of salvation. The Psalmist calls us to worship together in song and praise, urging us not to whisper but to boldly lift our voices, rejoicing and sharing the joy we have in our triune God.
The gift of music is an integral part of the worship service. In a typical service, we participate in sacred rituals, hear the preached word, pray, read scriptures, and yes, we sing. Across the world, worship services use all types of music: traditional, contemporary, classical, praise, gospel, and even rock or hip hop. At times it may feel like a small concert, but the purpose is to lift our voices as a praise offering to God.
When you hear a favorite song, you know how deeply music can move you. It can invoke emotions that remind you of the trials, joys, and tribulations, you have faced and how our Savior carried you through it all.
Psalm 95 calls us to lift our voices to our Lord. When we join our voices in song, we joyfully express adoration, and strengthen our faith, drawing us closer to our creator. So let us make a joyful noise and sing to our Lord with unbounding joy and praise.
Dear God, we acknowledge your infinite power and grace, and we honor you. Let us worship you with song as our hearts soar and we sing our loudest praise. You are the almighty King, the rock of our salvation. Amen.
