Righteous Musicians Sing and Rejoice

Righteous Musicians Sing and Rejoice 

Proverbs 29:6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doeth sing and rejoice.

       Are you a Christian musician who has a singing heart instead of merely a musician who sings?  In other words, are you a rejoicing musician?  It is one thing to sing songs about rejoicing and it is entirely another to rejoice when you music unto God. 

       When trouble comes do you proclaim God’s power and love or do you let Satan lead you into depression?  God’s inspired Word teaches us that the righteous sing and rejoice.  It doesn’t say that the righteous sing and rejoice only in the good times, it simply states that if you are righteous you will sing and rejoice.  Ouch! 

       Verse eight of this proverb tells us that the scornful set things on fire, but the righteous “turn away wrath”.  As a righteous musician you have the opportunity to use singing as a means of grace that can actually keep someone from sitting in the seat of the scornful (see Psalm one).  The Bible teaches clearly that there is a difference in what an evil man and a righteous man or woman does.  An evil person is ensnared by his or her sin and the righteous person sings and rejoices in the LORD who is willing and able to deliver the Christian out of life’s troubles.

       If you have been ensnared by some trick of the enemy of your soul, do not give up spiritually.  Tell Jesus that you are sorry and really mean it. I Chronicles 16:10 and Psalm 105:3 both say, “Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.”  Rejoice, because only a person who remains evil has to remain ensnared.  Remember that in John 2:1 there is an admonition to us, “My little children, these things write I unto you that ye sin not.  And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”  Wow!  Jesus is right now sitting at the right hand of the Father praying for us.  He is praying for us because he cares about us very much.  We know this of a surety because Romans 8:24 states, “Who is he that condemneth?  It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who makes intercession for us.”  If Jesus is praying for us, and we know that He is from this Scripture, we can make it through all the troubles of life.
