Sing to the Lord

Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting. - Psalm 147:1

We need to sing through our trials

“SING about His mercies and greatness. The enemy would like to destroy your family and your joy—all you have invested and all your hopes for the future. Second Chronicles 20:1-30 tells a wonderful story. Their families were about to be destroyed. Read it carefully and you will see how: a. They were afraid (v. 3) b. They sought the Lord [v. 3) c. They did not need to fight. God said He would do it for them (v. 17) d. They were not to fear or be dismayed (a choice, a decision) (v. 17) e. Singers were appointed to go ahead of the warriors in the most vulnerable position (v. 21) f. They were to sing of the mercies of God. Why mercies? Because they weren’t any better than the enemy and they were saying, “We don’t deserve to live but we are children of the most High God. We are totally dependent on His mercies and love.” (v. 21) g. When they sang the Lord sent ambushments. Victory came (v. 22). Sing when you are vacuuming, cooking, walking, driving, trying to go to sleep, showering—decide to sing. Declare to those in the heavenlies that your God is able to deliver. Satan will fear. His minions will fear.” A Path Through Suffering - Elizabeth Elliot
