The Joy Of Worship
Psalm 150:3-5 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
Israelites used the trumpet to worship God, as a war cry, etc. We can also use the trumpet to worship God today. One pastor was saying that when they blow the trumpet in his church, he has seen people become free of demons.
In this psalm we see different things we can use to praise God. All of these instruments create loud noises, we can praise God in the loudest way! Everything that has breath can praise the Lord.
An important duty that God has given all of us is to worship Him. Our worship doesn’t make God bigger or smaller or benefit God in any way- but worship is important for us because of how it impacts our lives.
1 Chronicles 13:8 David and all the Israelites were celebrating with all their might before God, with songs and with harps, lyres, timbrels, cymbals and trumpets.
The King of Israel and all the citizens danced and sang to the Lord. If we all worshipped like David, what would that look like?
Many people wonder how they can worship because their situations are tough. We should remember that our joy doesn’t come from the world or from our situation, it comes from the Holy Spirit. Worship can take the form of a joyous celebration. It doesn’t need to be a quiet and sober affair- it can be a celebration!
1 Chronicles 15:16
David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their fellow Levites as musicians to make a joyful sound with musical instruments: lyres, harps and cymbals.
David asked the Levites to create a choir to worship the Lord. This was how much he valued worship.
Psalm 147:1-3 Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. 3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
God builds His children. This psalm goes on to tell us about God’s deeds towards His children.
Psalm 95:6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker
2 Chronicles 20:19 Then some Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up and praised the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.
The Levites from two clans worshipped God with a loud shout.
We should increase the quality of worship in our lives.
Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe
Amos 5:21-24
21 “I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me. 22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. 23 Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. 24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
God doesn’t appreciate hypocrisy or praises that are simply for show. Public worship is useless if it is without sincerity and without the desire to live for God.
