"The Weekly Word"

The Weekly Word, Monday, January 30, 2023 Edition

   

Make a joyful noise to the Lord! Psalm 100 vs 1

         In so many arenas I have heard people sing. I have been in choirs, in congregations, at church conferences, in different groups of musicians. Then I’ve been with others who can’t sing a lick, even some who are nonverbal, some who cannot articulate thought clearly. I’ve even been in Alzheimer’s units where singing is sincerely appreciated and never forgotten! 

         And as I was thinking about this whole making a joyful noise to the Lord concept, I got to thinking, can’t anything be joyful? Isn’t it all about our mindset, our mentality? Even in silence, can we feel joy? Even when down, can we feel joy? Even when we are struggling or confused, can we feel joy? 

         Those joyful moments pop up everywhere, don’t they? Perhaps It can be in a solution you discover, perhaps in an encouraging word from a friend or coworker or even a stranger. Perhaps your joyful noise comes as you smile over something you thought funny or shared a laugh with someone. 

         The Psalmist does not say how, just simply to do it. To make a joyful noise, to have a positive spirit. To think, this day is going to somehow be good, I’ll make it. To know God will provide others to help you make it. Therefore, you can make a joyful noise! You can give thanks for what you have and what you do! 

         So my prayer would be that you make and experience your own joyful noise and allow others to share their noise with you. Sometimes it may Blare on a stereo or radio, and other times it might radiate from your soul in singing or humming as you do a chore, or it may even happen as you shed a tear over something so beautiful words simply cannot express the impact. 

         The joy of the Lord is everywhere friends. It’s right in front of you. It’s all around you. Did you see it? Or did you miss it? Are you sharing your noise with others, or is your attitude such where the noise has stopped? No matter how you are or where you are at friends, remember God has made you. So make a joyful noise in your life, because by God’s grace, he’s the reason you can make or experience any noise at all! 

To God be the glory
