Observations: The psalms are songs! They are unique in the Bible. Many of them prophesy, or provide insight into the character of David, or clarify a specific historic event, or speak wisdom and truth. However, first and foremost they are songs to be sung. Even more significantly, they are songs inspired by God - songs written by God! These are, therefore, likely to be the words we will be singing in heaven.
Application: There are worship songs that move my heart, and quite often I discover that the lyrics to such songs are either paraphrased from or fully lifted out of the Bible. I have sung the words "great is the lord and greatly to be praised" I don't know how many times.
It is important to let these words into our souls, for they have a special connection to our souls. These are words from God, for us to use in worship and praise, and in so doing fulfill our purposes. Our opportunity to worship is sacred, and even more so when we use the words God has given us.
Prayer: I love discovering your truth in the songs I sing, Lord. Thank you for allowing me to worship you!!
