Sing for Joy

Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord; it is fitting for the pure to praise him.

Psalm 33:1 CEV

Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp. Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy. For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does. He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.

The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs. Let the whole world fear the Lord, and let everyone stand in awe of him. For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command.

The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes. But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken. Psalm 33:2-11

Prayer:

Father,

          How wonderful it is to be able to praise You in Your holiness - to gaze in awestruck wonder at the works of Your hands and the creative words of Your mouth! Give us clean hands and pure hearts so that we may offer You praise that is fitting for You to receive. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
