god wants to hear you sing
There is a song titled, “God Wants to Hear You Sing”. While reading the book of Jeremiah, I was reminded of this song by Jeremiah telling the people of Israel to work and be joyful while in captivity. We can all be joyful and sing, no matter the circumstance, and no matter the quality of voice that we have.
Psalm 100 – (A Psalm of praise) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: Be thankful into him, and bless his name.
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. (KJV)
This passage doesn’t say anything about the type of voice we have or our ability to play an instrument and I am glad.
There have been several times in my life, when the care and concerns of this world have weighted me down to the point where I thought they would crush me. During those times I couldn’t pray. I could, however, still listen to and sing along with the radio. There was a radio station that I had learned about that played Gospel Music all during the day and I listened and something stirred inside me. I began to sing along with the radio and as I did, I began to feel the weight lift off me. Singing has that effect. It doesn’t matter how we sound, if we are praising God, He loves it, and as the song mentioned above says, “But when suffering comes along, And we still sing Him songs, That is when we bless the Father’s heart”.
I want to challenge myself, and anyone else that might read this to “Make a joyful Noise”. Yes I know that sounds bad, but get in the shower, go for a drive by yourself, go out in the yard, just do something to be alone with the music and God and let the song burst forth from your body and soul. I guarantee that the burdens will get lighter and God will make you feel better about everything. Praise God for what he has done and for what He is going to do, after all, He is worthy of out praise and it doesn’t matter how we sound, God wants to hear you sing.

irish poem
May God give you
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
God Bless You
