Thought for the Day by Matt Jones
​(Associate Minister for Music)

​I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice in the Lord.
 
Psalm 104:33-34
 
Have you stopped singing? For a lot of us the answer to the question is probably yes. Maybe the only time you sing during the week is when you sing with others at church, and we can’t currently do that. Do pray that situation will change!
 
Our unknown Psalmist invites us to sing. Look carefully again at the instruction: I (that’s you, an individual) will sing (the Hebrew indicates using musical instruments and voices!) to the Lord (directed specifically to Him!) all my life (to the last breath)
 
And then the Psalmist repeats the phrase in typical Hebraic writing fashion: I will sing praise to my God as long as I live
 
So, have you stopped singing to the Lord? Maybe you should start! Or start again! Whether that is singing at home if you are watching the livestream, singing in the car, singing in the shower, singing in quiet times. Sing about His love, sing about the cross, sing about the hope of the New Creation. Sing to, and about Jesus. Remember, your singing is for Lord, something pleasing to Him (verse 34). He delights in your praise, He likes the sound of your voice even if you don’t!
 
Praise the Lord, my soul. Praise the Lord.
 
P.s. if you want to sing in church, then you can always join a music team! Speak to me for more details!
​Matt
