Spiritual Wellness How Well do you Sing

Psalm 100 says, “Make a joyful shout to the Lord, [a]all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.” (Psa.100:1-2). One of the greatest joys God’s people have is “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Eph. 5:19). When we ask “How Well Do You Sing”, the question is NOT do you have a good voice, it is not do you sing with perfect pitch? No rather the question is do you sing with understanding (Psa. 47:7; 1 Cor. 14:15)? Do you sing so that others may praise you or do you sing to praise God? In this lesson we continue examination of our own spiritual wellness with intent of growing in spirit and truth. David wrote, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. 3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” (Psa. 34:1-3). Singing is something that Jesus did with His disciples, (Matt. 26:30), and singing is an expression of our joy like the hymn we sing, “I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, for
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.…”. In this lesson we will examine the different types of singers, note the importance of our singing and consider steps we can take to better our singing, not our voice and tone, but involving our whole being heart, mind and soul.
