Joyful Singing - Gary Holloway - Daily Disciple - Nov 14

Psalm
Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise.
Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power,
your enemies cringe before you.
All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you, sing praises to your name.”
Psalm 66:1-4

Meditation
Now should it appear that the open, but unostentatious display, of all the Christian affections, feelings, sympathies, joys, and delights, in our meetings — in our songs, prayers, and Christian feasts, are parts of God’s appointed means
of quickening and exalting our piety, and of producing it in others, might it not in that case be made evident to all, that they are all more or less culpable who conceal their joys in the Lord, or refuse to appear as spiritually and heavenly minded as they are?
Alexander Campbell, Millennial Harbinger (1836), 181

Scripture
Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you
sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody
to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:18-20

Prayer
I sing [to] the glory of your name, O Lord! Filled with the [Holy] Spirit, I give thanks to you.
