Singing in Church

[Omegaman 3.0]

Might was well get used to it and learn to love it, I think it continues in eternity! Seems as though it pleases God, and that is what those who love God seek to do, please Him!

[Willa]

Psa 150:1  Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament!

Psa 150:2  Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

Psa 150:3  Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp!

Psa 150:4  Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!

Psa 150:5  Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

Psa 150:6  Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!

I love to worship and praise God at church.  Often the answer to my prayers are found within the songs they sing.  Singing to the Lord can be a form of spiritual battle as well.  There is power in worshipping a praising our God!  It reminds me of how great our God is and how small my problems are when I place the in the Almighty's hands.

50 years ago an obscene phone caller used to phone caller used to call after my husband left the house. I would pray and sing praises to God while he was on the phone till he hung up.  

2Ch 20:21  And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: "Praise the LORD, For His mercy endures forever."  2Ch 20:22  Now when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.

2Ch 20:27  Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies.  2Ch 20:28  So they came to Jerusalem, with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets, to the house of the LORD.

Okay story from my past. Here we go.   Several years ago I was attending a church. One Sunday night they had a one night revival service.  Myself along with about 30 other people showed up. The preacher gave his sermon then called us all to go to up front and stand around the alter for closing prayer. So we did. After prayer someone said we should sing some choruses. So the pastor's wife shouted out a chorus we should sing. At this time it was after 7:45pm  So anyway we sung the chorus she wanted us to sing like 3 or 4 times through then she shouted out another one. So we sung that one 3 or 4 times through. Then she shouted out another one. Again singing it 3 or 4 times through. Well this kept going on and I thought the pastor's wife was never going to stop shouting out choruses for us to sing. She just would not stop. This went on and on and I looked at the clock and it was like 8:30pm and I am like I  have to get home as I have to work in the morning.  But I could just sneak out like I would do because everyone is standing up front looking at everybody. Finely at about 8:45 the pastor's wive stop calling out stuff for us to sing. I mean I love singing in church, but this was just too much for me that night.

if God really enjoys my singing, he hears something i don't hear...  he's got to be just sensing what's coming out of my heart and not my mouth.
