“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation” - Psalm 95:1”
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” - Colossians 3:16
This (Sunday) morning, I experienced a brief, yet powerful, reminder of that privilege. I did some work around the house yesterday which included knocking out some drywall. Apparently, I inhaled a good amount of dust which really affected my ability to sing during rehearsal. In order to be able to sing for the services, I “saved it” and vocally laid out of the choruses of the songs that were a bit high.
To be standing amidst others who were freely lifting their voices of praise while not doing so myself was strange, uncomfortable, and revelatory. I realized, just in those few moments, what I would be missing deep within my soul if I were to ever be unable to sing my praise, adoration, and love for God and to God. Take a moment and ask yourselves how you may feel. I encourage you to remember it next time you lift your voice in praise. What a privilege! What an honor!
