READ: Jm. 5:13 MORE LESSONS: Exo. 15:1-21
Bible Reading in One Y ear: Deuteronomy 23-25
The scripture shows us that God wants us to be joyful and also teaches us how to handle joy . '…Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms: Jm. 5:13. God attached a responsibility to happiness – which is that we should sing to the Lord. He went further to tell the type of song to sing. When you want to show God that you are happy, sing psalms unto our God. The word 'psalms' here doesn't just mean quoting the book of Psalms; it primarily means that you sing songs that make meaning and are taken from God's Word. Sing songs that are connected with the theme of the gospel of Christ. Until you sing songs that make meaning in the spiritual realm, you are not yet singing psalms. Singing psalms involves making melodies that are based on the Word of God. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea: Exo. 15:1 . Making melodies unto God is a responsibility that expresses our gratitude, merriment and happiness. Many people have wasted their lives doing all manner of things in the name of showing happiness but the Bible encourages believers to show happiness by singing psalms unto God.
Just like the children of Israel sang psalms to God after miraculously crossing over the Red Sea. As you rejoice, celebrate, and sing, there is also edification for your spirit because God seeks worship in spirit and truth which the psalms give Him.
Well, some may think they can't sing because they do not have a reason to be merry but such a person should just look ahead. Can you see any ray of hope ahead of you? Is there a possibility that you will be better than what you are today? If so, then you have a reason to make merry and sing psalms. Even if all things are bad, there is still a ray of hope that all will be right as it is not over with you yet. Job says, Though your beginning maybe small. Yet your latter end shall greatly increase: Job 8: 7. Do you believe that tomorrow will be alright? Then the Bible says merriment is your portion; celebrate by singing psalms. God wants you to do it continuously. Don't sing psalms only today; next time your heart is heavy, sing a song of hope. Always create a heart that is filled with joy because God is able. From today you shall always have reasons to sing songs of joy to the Lord, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer/Action
* Prophesy to yourself that the rest of this year shall be filled with rejoicing.
* Cancel every plan of the enemy to steal your joy this year.
? Anoint yourself for the spirit of gladness and joy, no more heaviness.
? Pick a scriptural verse today and sing it all day .
