A Song On Our Lips

Psalm 119:172 - "May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous."

It's pretty ironic that David, writing Scripture under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, writes a verse that speaks about singing the Word of God. This verse would become recognized as the authoritative Word, and it would be sung as part of the Psalms. David loved song. The shepherd boy who calmed a king with his harp and eventually became king knew a thing or two about songs. He loved to put the Word of God to music, for he was enthralled with it.

Tomorrow, many of you will spend time worshipping God in church. One of the ways that you will worship Him is with song. Enjoy sharing in the ancient tradition of praising God with the art of song. May your lips sing praise to the true King, Jesus Christ, the only One who is worthy of our praise.

Dear God,

You are worthy of our praise. May our songs lift you up as we sing words that we believe to be true about You. Continue to do Your work in our life. We want to praise You with more than a song. May our life sing praise to You!

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
