“It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High.” -Psalm 92:1
When’s the last time you sang out loud? Sunday? In your car? In the shower?
Let me ask a better question:
When’s the NEXT time you’re going to sing out loud? Right now? In two minutes when you walk over there and shut the door? In your car on the commute?
Come on… Don’t overthink it. Invite your family or roommates to join in. Your singing can change the environment you’re in. Yes, someone might flee the environment. But song, joy, and celebration have a way of elevating any environment.
Sing! It’s good for your soul. It’s good for them, too.
Think about it… Why do we love concerts so much? They move us at a core, emotional, and spiritual level. Beyond the words, it’s the music that moves us.
There’s something built into us that was designed to sing—to celebrate, praise, thank, shout for joy. There’s a letting out of emotion in the direction of your designer. It matters. It’s part of the design.
Bonus: It actually makes you feel better! Singing can change your emotional state and encourage your heart.
Try it. Go ahead… Sing and give thanks. Turns out the “Most High” isn’t far away; and He likes your tune.
