Sing Songs of Praise Joyfully…with Thanksgiving

Meditate. What song is in your head and heart? Is it a joyful song?

Come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods. Psalm 95:1-3 

Remember what the Lord has done...
for you and for everyone.
Sing a joyful song of thanksgiving!

Sing and praise the Lord here on earth…while there is time. In being joyful to the Lord, you may just bring others to the Lord. Jesus wants all His followers to tell everyone about God’s plan and the Good News.

And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.” Mark 16:15-16

Tell everyone. This is a time of the year to be thankful…and what better way to share the joy in your life than to tell others how thankful you are to the Lord for what He has done in your life. Be prepare to tell others how you see God working in your life and of your hope in your future with Christ as your Savior.

…you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ. 1 Peter 3:15-16

How do you see God working in your life? Things that may seem to be a coincidence are likely orchestrated by God. Give God the glory and honor that He deserves. Sing a joyful song of praise from your heart to the Lord…with thanksgiving.
