Have you ever sat back and listened to your church sing? I mean, really listened? This past Sunday, I did just that. I closed my eyes and listened. It was gorgeous. I don’t mean the worship team — of course they were amazing, they always are. But this time, I listened to the people sing. It gave me an overwhelming sense of unity. We all believe the words we are singing and by singing them together… for some reason it brings a power to it. I have the same feeling when I listen to the kids sing in Sunday school.
My 7 year old daughter memorized Hebrews 10:25 for school this year: Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Why does God want us to meet together? I imagine it is so that we encourage each other and remind each other that we are not alone in our beliefs. With the way our culture is developing, it would be easy to think that our entire country has turned its back on God. We’ve almost become anti-God. It would be easy to believe that we are alone.
So, this week, make sure you meet with fellow Christians. If you get an opportunity to sit in worship together, take a moment and listen to the voices raised in song. We sing together, we stand together, we worship the Father together.
Thanks for being there — together — with me.
Sometimes we do feel alone and it is great to be reminded…that is not the case.
GOD Bless, andrea
