Prayer – Lord, please accept the joyful noise that I make
as an offering of worship to You. I am shouting for joy to honor You.
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And
shout for joy, all you upright in heart! Psalm 32:11
Meditate. Consider God’s joy.
Joy is a reoccurring theme in scripture. Joy can be felt at
times of happiness or even during mourning or sorrow. It has been described as
inexplicable. Here are a few verses that deal with joy.
But let all those
rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You
defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. Psalm 5:11
NKJV
Sing to Him a new
song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. Psalm 33:3 NKJV
Can you play the accordian?
This was at the Czech museum in Omaha.
Make a joyful noise to the Lord!
Let them shout for
joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, Let
the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant. Psalm
35:27 NKJV
The pastures are
clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for
joy, they also sing. Psalm 65:13 NKJV
Let Your priests be
clothed with righteousness, And let Your saints shout for joy. Psalm 132:9
Music, singing and playing stringed instruments are often
related to joy.
Rejoice in the LORD,
O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. ... Sing to Him a
new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. For the word of the LORD is
right, And all His work is done in truth. He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. Psalm 33:1, 3-5 NKJV
God made us and blessed us with the desire and ability…or
at least some of us…to sing and make music to honor Him. If you cannot carry a
tune in a bucket—like me, pretty much—then at least you can enjoy the joyful
noise that others make. And we can all seek to please the Lord by enjoying the
joyful noise of others and waiting on the Lord. He gives us hope.
Our soul waits for
the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You. Psalm 33:20-22 NKJV
We are blessed to know God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy
Spirit—and to have an opportunity to express our love for Him—and others. Sing!
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice. Shout for joy.
Verse of Salvation ~ For with the heart one believes
unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvations. Romans
10:10 NKJV
