When we sing, ‘draw me near, nearer, blessed Lord,’ we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship. It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence. We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts. - A.W. Tozer
Why do you sing to God? Do you sing praises to God to be nearer to Him? Are you seeking a closer relationship with God? He is right here. Just a whisper to God would beckon Him and He'll respond immediately. Call on God today. Even just a whisper!
I read this scripture this morning for my daily reading and it just spoke heaps to me. I put it here with a nice video. I hope it blesses you as much as it does me. We are so blessed to have such a righteous God who takes care of us. Psalm 98 1 Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. 2 The LORD has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations. 3 He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. 5 Sing to the LORD with the harp, With the harp and the sound of a psalm, 6 With trumpets and the sound of a horn; Shout joyfully before the LORD, the King. 7 Let the sea roar, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell in it; 8 Let the rivers clap their hands; Let the hills be joyful together 9 before the LORD, For He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world, And the peoples with equity.
