What is great about singing? Why must you sing?
Singing is an expression of inner joy, which bubbles up into an expression of praise and adoration of the most High God.
You can sing, anywhere and at anytime, and God will be there, He will listen and be with you because He lives in our praises. Even in your challenges, when things are not going well, praise Him; sing and things will turn around for good - what was not working will start working well in your favour, shame will turn to fame, demotion to promotion, loss to gloss and pain to gain; in Jesus mighty name.
Sing in the difficult times as well as the good times. Deborah the prophetess, the voice of God, in her times, sang after the Israelites defeated their enemies soundly. Miriam led a praise worship service after Pharaoh and all his 'powerful' array of soldiers were embarrassed, frustrated and destroyed. Even though she did not get the support of some notable people she would have loved to have, because God was on her side, the battle was won in a miraculous manner. As you sing, I see God making a way for you, causing your challenges and difficult situations to become stepping stones to greater heights. The God who did it for David, for Paul and Silas will do it for you!
Sing!
