Sounds of Praise       

My lips will shout for joy. Yes, I will sing your praises. Psalm 71:23

Bethel Music sings a song titled “Raise a Hallelujah” and one verse in the song goes like this

“I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies

I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief

I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody

I raise a hallelujah, heaven comes to fight for me.”

This song reminds me of the Psalms, in particular Psalm 71 where David continually spoke about the goodness of the Lord in Psalm 71. He says; ‘My praise is continual’, ‘my mouth is filled’, ‘my words will tell’, ‘I will praise’, ‘I still proclaim’, ‘I will sing’, ‘my lips will shout and my tongue will talk’. The Psalmist just can’t keep quiet about the Lord. He is raising a hallelujah!

Let us remember to talk about Jesus, singing of His goodness. Sing His praise! Speak of the great things He has done, and how much His love changes everything.

Let’s remember always to talk to each other about Jesus. It glorifies the Lord and encourages the soul. It makes our hearts burn within us when we share about the love He has for us. Even more so when we pray, praise and talk with Him together, for when we do this He promises to be there, right in the midst of us.

Prayer for today:  Dear Lord, may we always put You first in all that we do. Giving Your name the praise it deserves. May we always be prepared for the opportunities to share the gospel with those that don’t know you, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
