O ~ The sound of singing is found in the camp of the godly. Singing with joy. Singing with victory. Singing with joy before there is reason* to have joy - signing with victory before the battle is over.
A ~ There is just something about singing that is powerful. C.S. Lewis wrote that God sung the worlds into existence. He's placed a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise unto my God. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Make melody in your heart, singing to one another. On and on they go - verses about singing. Our hearts, not just our voices, were created to sing. There was a time when I was singing every day - 'I will bless Thee O Lord... with my hands lifted up...'. It's time to start singing again.
P ~ Lord, when I think about the camp of the godly, I think about our gatherings on Sunday morning - but I also want to acknowledge that my home can be such a camp. May my home be filled with the songs of joy and victory, that come not from a stereo speaker, but from our hearts and voices - the lives of the godly.
*there is always a reason
