I will praise God’s name with song; I will magnify him with thanks. (Psalm 69:30)
Through singing, proper doctrine is imparted to the hearers, and truth moves from the head to the heart. Christian truth should not only enable right thinking, but also right feeling. Combined, right thinking and right feeling yield right living, or a transformed life. For those committed to Christ, all dimensions of the human person are changed through discipleship, and one avenue for discipleship runs through the singing of songs.
Praise God’s name with song. Magnify your praise with thanks. And rejoice as God transforms your heart in accordance with Christ-likeness.
Jesus, let me look upon you and discover the motivation for worship. Help me to sing to you in such a way that my love for you is deepened. Amen.
