Psalm 66 - Sing!

I'm pretty disappointed in myself for not sticking with my commitment to blog a psalm a day! Believe me, the Spirit has reminded me of it every day. I knew it would be difficult once school started but it is just a priority issue and I am determined to see this through...... so I press on!

I just returned home from choir practice after being gone for the past couple of weeks to help care for Craig's mother.

[By the way, she went home from the hospital today but there are likely long days ahead so I continue to covet your prayers for the family. ]

As we sang through some of the songs tonight, I realized how much I missed it. I really don't know of anything that lifts my spirits more than music and the blessing that comes from singing praise from the heart! Somehow, for me, music touches the depths of the soul that nothing else seems to reach.

As I read today's introduction of the psalm, I could just imagine what sort of tune must have accompanied the words.

Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
Sing the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious!
Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!"
So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you
All the earth bows down to you;
They sing praise to you,
they sing praise to your name." Selah

I wonder if it was upbeat and joyous or meditative and prayerful!
Was it more of a powerful anthem or quiet lullaby........

No matter the style, I am positive that it spoke to the heart! How I thank God for blessing us with music and thank him that I have the ability to hear and enjoy it!
