Sing praises to His name

Around our house, we love to sing. Now, other folks may not enjoy it as much as we do but we love to sing. There is just something that gets you moving or that moves your spirit when you sing a joyful song. After all, the Bible tells us to make a joyful noise unto the LORD. Even if others may find it a little less appealing than you, if you are joyfully making it, then, make it.

And, what better to sing about than our LORD? He has done everything for us. Shouldn't we be telling others about His goodness and mercies? And, again, one of the best ways to do that is to sing His praises.

Today's word is Psalm 135:3, NASB, which reads, "Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely."

There is so much in this verse: we have a reason to sing praises to the LORD - for the LORD is good! When you have good news, don't you love to share it with others? I mean, we will share gossip and hearsay and bad news at the drop of a hat. Why not share about the goodness of the LORD just as easily, just as quickly?

And, we sing praises to His name, for it is lovely. You might be thinking, "My singing is not lovely." To that, I refer back to making a joyful noise. Here, though, "it is lovely" is referring to the fact that the name of the LORD, "His name", is lovely. We sing because He is worthy of our praise. Sing praises to His name!

Be Blessed,
