Psalms 146-150 – Day 27

Some people think that we can only sing God songs in a Holy place: a church or chapel! That idea is crazy. The word sing or singing appears over 150 times in our Bibles, never with any conditions other than letting us know that God is worthy of our praises!

Psalm 149:6-9

May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands, to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron, to carry out the sentence written against them – this is the glory of all His faithful people.
Praise the Lord.

The Thought

Now we see the real reasons we have this double-edged sword in our hands. It is a spiritual weapon, for a spiritual battle! Praising the Lord is one of the greatest weapons we can use. That is because the demonic spirits that surround us during our wordly activities hate it when we praise Jesus. Praising results in His Spirit in the air around us growing stronger. Angels join in with our songs, and demons flee.

It should be the easiest thing in the world to do, but how much has the enemy stopped the body of Christ on earth from praising God. Many of us think we can only praise God in church or Christian meetings, that’s where praise belongs! Many of us argue that we cannot sing well! I have read the Bible several times and nowhere have I found a verse that suggests we must sing in tune! Sadly other believers have told us to sing quietly because we are not in tune, those critics have done much damage to other individuals!

All these ideas are crazy. The word sing or singing appears over 150 times in our Bibles, never with any conditions other than letting us know that God is worthy of our praises!

Action

Read Psalm 96 today and be encouraged to sing throughout your day. It doesn’t matter if you sing the same song, or if you know hundreds of Christian songs, but singing praise will help you to focus on Jesus and all He has done for you.

Enjoy your day.
