Joy #17 - Worship Music

#17

Today I found joy in worship music. They did a leadership dedication service at school for all the future leadership. But they started it off with some worship music. It was so beautiful. I just find so much joy in singing to Christ. When I was younger I would just sing because I liked the songs, but now I have learned to sing them straight to HIM :) I used to think people who sang worship songs with their eyes closed or hands raised were strange but now I get it. I close my eyes now to remove the distractions around me and to focus fully on Christ (which isn't the easiest thing to do when you are me because I get distracted SO easily I have realized).

I can't wait for the day when we will get to see our Savior face to face and worship Him in His presence.

Judges 5:3
"Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I will sing to the LORD, I will sing; I will make music to the LORD, the God of Israel."

Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.

Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day.

I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

Psalm 30:4
Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name.

Psalm 30:11
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

Revelation 15:4
Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."

I can't wait till this day:
Revelation 5:13
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!"

:) Night everyone!

Psalm 59:16
But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
