Devotionals

This week and the days following up to Thanksgiving, we will be talking about ways to be thankful. One of the ways to show our thankfulness to the Lord is to sing praises to Him. When we sing to the Lord, it brings honor and glory to Him. Some of us have been blessed with musical talents, whether vocally or instrumentally, and God has given them to us so that we will praise Him. However, God wants all of us to sing and to praise Him regardless if we lack talents (Psalm 100) because the focus should never be on the talent, but it should always be on the Creator of the Universe. Music shouldn't be used to please our flesh because when used appropriately to praise God, in doing so, our souls will be blessed, and we will be filled with joy and peace. We should have the same desire as this psalmist to sing unto the Lord and to praise Him all our days. God has done so much for all of us that we should never get tired of singing praises of thanksgiving to Him.
