Psalm 149 cont’d:
Let Israel rejoice in their
Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King. Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with timbrel and harp.
I’m sure we’ve all enjoyed music through dance,
by playing or listening to instruments, or by simply rejoicing. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of
concerts that have all of these components, and it’s fairly easy to join in them
at the moment with the loudness, the movement, and the beauty of the music.
But…have you brought your own “drum” to him and
played for him personally, danced before him with your head on his shoulder, or rejoiced in Him by making your own music?
Corporate worship is inspiring, invigorating,
encouraging, and can be downright enjoyable, if all of the components come
together well – the music, the voices, the rhythm, and the lyrics.
However, personal worship is a key component
to a healthy lifestyle of worship, and it will be in the personal worship alone
with your Maker that you are changed, lifted up, exalted to a place of
adoration and peace, and realize your purpose on this earth…
Rejoice in him with dancing, music, and
instruments – both there with them – and here alone – with Him.
