“O come, let us sing unto the LORD…” Psalm 95:1

We have here an invitation to a joyful celebration. All people of God should encourage and invite one another to lift praise and song unto the King Eternal. Among all the voices and songs sung in the world, glorifying and exalting just about anything, most of which is untoward, unholy and unkind, it is always refreshing to hear the praises of God sung out of thankful and pure hearts. The inspiration to sing out to God, should flow freely from the souls of those who have been delivered from their sins; and it ought to take next to no reminder and incitement, to join in the song of praise brethren are offering to God. The object of our song and praise is Yahwah the Messiah! The Holy One, Who has delivered our souls, and whose mighty acts merit celebration and glorification. His entire creation in so many ways declares His glory and sings His praise. Humans also owe to their Creator the most sincere and heartfelt praise and worship they can raise. The Lord is not so interested in the most ‘professional’ sounds we can make, or the perfection of our performance and impeccable musical tone, we can deliver in His presence. He is more attracted and attentive to the sound of the heart and soul, who are sincere and genuinely thankful and joyful in His sight. This makes praise and worship an opportunity and ability available to anyone, regardless of their age, background or skill. It is such a blessing that God is not insistent on melodious sounds, which some of us possibly could not produce, but is appreciative of our ‘noise’ if it be joyful and soulful! In our own way and time then, as well as with other likeminded people, let us join in heartfelt, glad and thankful song to the Lord our God, who is worthy of all our praise!
