Listening and singing along with Christian Gospel music has a unique way of strengthening our heart, soul, and mind. In today’s age of distractions, Gospel music shifts our focus on God.
Here are just a few things the Psalms say about the music we listen and sing to:
Psalms 5:11: “Let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you.”
Psalms 9:2: “I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.”
Psalms 51:14: “Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.”
Psalms 59:16-17 “But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress. O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love.”
Psalms 63:7: “For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.”
In the Bible, singing and joy are bound together. “Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.” James 5:13
