This week one of my favorite verses came up when I was doing my devotions. In my high school praise band at church, we call this the "John 3:16 of music" or "Music 3:16".
Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God."
This verse is a good reminder of why God gives us our voices, to praise him. Not because He needs our praise, but because he deserves it more than anyone. I have this verse cross-referenced to another one of my favorite verses that also has to do with music.
Ephesians 5:19 "speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord."
As I become more and more obsessed with the world of music that constantly surrounds me, I keep these verses in mind. They are excellent reminders of why I sing and why I even have the ability to sing.
