Sing,
show delight, and great joy all who belong to the Lord, God. It is right for
you to praise God for what He does. Praise Him using every instrument. Sing
with your voice and heart your gratitude for all the new work He does. Give it
your best! (Psalm 33:1-3)
As you notice the work God is doing in and
around you, there is opportunity to help your people share in the celebration
you lead to recognize God’s prosperity. Think of the many ways you can provide
evidence of Jesus’ work, and call attention to Him as well as the culture He is
calling you all to inhabit. You will be teaching them the patterns of worship
each time you speak, “We celebrate!”
Here, the Psalmist says, “It is right for
you to praise God for what He does.” He encourages a full-throated celebration
– loud with lots of instruments and joyful gratitude. The encouragement to give
it your best, and to be grateful for everything - all of what the Lord does -
eliminates any doubt about the importance of this celebration. Clearly, your
voice is critical to God’s plan for you and your people.
Celebrate loudly, publicly, and give it your
best. Bring awareness to God’s purposes and His work in and through your
people!
