“Sing God-Honouring Songs”
Tuesday, July 15, 2025Key Verse
“O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works” (Psalms 105:1, 2).
Text —Psalms 105: 1-7
Message
The word ‘honour’ simply means, to show great respect and admiration for somebody. God-honouring songs refer to songs with lyrics showing great respect and admiration for God, who does great and mighty things for His children. Honouring God begins first in our hearts. God-honouring songs are Scripture-based; they act as spiritual food for the soul and exalt God.
According to D. L. Moody, “Singing does at least as much as preaching to impress the Word of God upon people’s minds.” Through gospel hymns and songs people are saved, developed, established and encouraged in their faith. People are also healed physically and spiritually through singing of God-honouring songs. Sadly, through youths, the devil is polluting the music industry with morally and spiritually unwholesome songs which turn people away from Christ. They are misusing their skills.
Dear friend, skillfully compose or sing God-honouring songs. Shun worldly music which promotes the way of the world and dishonours God. Sing unto God like Paul and Silas in jail, or like Moses and the Israelites after crossing the Red Sea (Acts 16:25-26; Exodus 15:1-7). This will draw unbelieving mates to Jesus.
