Have You Sung in the Ways of the LORD Today?

Have You Sung in the Ways of the Lord Today? 

Psalm 138:5 states, “Ye they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.”

       Bible exegetes argue about whether this verse means “in the ways of the LORD” or “of the ways of the LORD.”  Although we will not settle this argument in our discussion today, I like to think it means “in”.  However, be that as it may, we do know for certain that this Scripture does command us to sing.

       Have you sung unto the LORD today?  The self-existent, eternal God wants you to sing unto him.  If you and I are going to make it into the Eternal City of God, we must keep our heart singing!  Even if things aren’t going well, we must keep singing God’s praises.  I decided a long time ago to “get glad” rather than to get mad, “get sad”, “get bad” or “get even”.

       So, keep singing this little thought, “If you’re happy and you know it, say amen.”  What this little song means is that if you are going to sing in the ways of the LORD, you must sing “amen”—so be it.  Every Christian musician goes through times of great stress and trouble.  It isn’t the trouble that matters; it is how you get through it that matters in the end.  The LORD is very much awake, and He knows when you are in trouble.  So, sing in the ways of the LORD.  His way is a song of hope, triumph and victory.
