To Whom Shall We Sing?

To Whom Shall We Sing? - Exodus 15:1 

INTRODUCTION

Singing may be done by as few as one person, but there are always at least two parties involved in any song: the person singing, and the person receiving the song. In Exodus 15:1, among many other passages, the Bible teaches that God’s people are to sing "unto the LORD." This indicates that a song is much like an offering. One person offers the song by singing, and the offering is received by the Lord. It is an act of praise and worship! Modern Christianity is growing increasingly ignorant of this truth. Individuals and groups stand up every week in worship services and sing unto the people. It ought not to be so. God’s people need to return to the idea that singing is "unto the Lord."

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS

  • (For smaller children) Psalm 47 is speaking to "all ye people" (Psalm 47:1). Psalm 47:6 tells us to whom we should sing. Psalm 47:7 tells us why we should sing. In Psalm 104:33, the psalmist said not only will he sing unto the Lord, but he will be singing forever.
  • Unto whom do you sing? How does this affect the songs that you sing? How can we sing the world’s songs unto the Lord? If it is not possible, unto whom are those songs being sung?
  • If singing is an act of worship, what kind of worship have you been offering unto the Lord? Have you, at the same time, been offering praise to the Devil by singing his musick?

PRAYER NEEDS

  • Ask the Lord to help you see singing as worship.
  • Thank the Lord for giving you a way to praise His name.
