Greetings: Having a time of praise and worship is key to recharging our inner spirit and soul. One of my favorite songs that sets the tone for my worship is “Sing Alleluia to the Lord”. The words are simple. “Sing alleluia to the Lord Sing alleluia to the Lord Sing alleluia. Sing alleluia. Sing alleluia to the Lord” With or without music, this song soothes my spirit and puts me in a mode of praise and worship that is so relaxing. Allelulia –– as it is translated in the Greek –– comes from a Hebrew phrase –– hallelu yah –– which means Praise the Lord. Hallel is the Hebrew word for praise, and Yah is the short form of Yahweh - the name for God. What gives a punch to my singing, “Hallelujah,” is that Jah (Yahweh) is not a generic word for God, but the personal name of the God of Israel. For good reason, in the Bible, the word hallelujah appears at the beginning of 10 of the Psalms (106,111-113,135,146-150). To praise God is to worship, honor, and glorify Him. The psalmist says in Psalm 92:1: It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High. The Psalms are full of praise to God, many of them written in times of great trial, affliction and tribulation when it would not be the natural thing to praise God. If we praise God even when we do not feel like it or our circumstances do not warrant it, we soon find that our hearts are cheered, our faith is strengthened, and joy springs up within our spirits. Praise God, he gives us grace to go through each thing we face. As I read in 2 Corinthians, Paul prayed for something to be taken away that bothered him and the Lord said, “My grace is sufficient for you and my strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, he decided to glory in his weakness because he was made strong in Christ’s strength. As we sing the song Alleluia, let us draw from it the strength, like Paul, to rise up and sing in glory no matter what we face because Yahweh is with us wherever we go. Lets put aside all of our troubles, our business schedules and all of the other challenges we might be facing today and just soak in Gods beauty and soothing music for a few minutes. The day will seem much better when our soul gets relaxed at at peace. Listen to the song an view the images at the following link and soak in the words and rise up and have a great day. youtu.be/MdzaFJgazTY Be blessed.
