Psalms 81:1 NKJV
Sing aloud to God our strength; Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
Psalms 81:1 NKJV
God knows the intent of our hearts and thoughts even before we say a word or when we don't speak a word.
He is an all-knowing God yet He wants us to sing aloud, make a joyful noise and shout.
It is not because God cannot hear us that we sing aloud, shout and make a joyful noise unto God.
It is because God wants to silence all other songs that are not of God, silence all other noises and all other pleasures that give us a temporary fix.
Shout unto God means to shout aloud for who He is and all that He has done, His plans, His desires and His love towards us.
Our minds get so busy with all kinds of problems and we don't realise how much we add to our mind and heart with stuff that does not give life.
When we sing aloud, shout and make a joyful noise, we lift ourselves up, our thoughts and hearts from our own miseries to the glory of God.
Shouting, singing aloud and making a joyful noise about God's goodness will break bad habits, bad thoughts and empower us to take a leap of faith in God.
This is an effective way to get out of depression, low self-esteem, fear and feeling down.
God has designed worship because He wants His children to behold Him.
This is so that our hearts and minds can be filled with His image and likeness.
It is not for the benefit of God when we shout, make a joyful noise and sing aloud but it always benefits us.
Let us value everything that God has designed for us and actively participate in making a joyful shout and sing loud unto God.
Blessings
Ps Ambrose
