A SONG IN MY HEART, PART 3

-








Nothing lifts my spirit more than hearing beautiful
voices singing hymns and gospel music.  I often
love listening to classical arias by Andrea' Bocelli. 

I often pray that the singers take the lyrics they are
singing seriously. It is a blessing to have a beautiful
voice and sing about things you are passionate about.
It is unfortunate that a lot of the  lyrics in hymns and
gospel songs are taken for granted. The lyrics are for
entertainment purposes only!















There are several scriptures in the Bible 
that informs us know that singing songs
of exaltation was a part of some people's
lives. Here are some of them:




1 CHRONICLES  13:8
Then David and all Israel played music before
God with all their might, with singing, on harps,
on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on
cymbals, and with trumpets.

2 CHRONICLES  23:18

Also Jehoiada appointed the oversight
of the house of the Lord to the hand of
the priests,  the Levites, whom David
had assigned in the house of the Lord,
to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord,
as it is written in the  Law of Moses,
with rejoicing and with singing,  as it
was established by David.


ZEPHANIAH  3:17


The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One,
will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over
you with singing.”


PSALM 100:2

Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.


PSALM 126:2

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing.  Then they said among the nations,"The Lord has done great things for them.”


EPHESIANS  5:19

Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your
heart to the Lord,


COLOSSIANS  3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom,
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your
hearts to the Lord.


HEBREWS 2: 11-12


11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are being
sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not
ashamed to call them brethren,
12 saying: “I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”


JAMES  5:13


Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray.
Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
