Do you hesitate to sing in a church service? You may think you’re really not the singing type. Don’t worry about how your voice sounds. Even if your voice is not one that would be heard on the stage, your praise is music to God’s ears. He delights in your songs of thanksgiving and praise.

You are giving God the praise He deserves when you sing. A singing heart is a heart lifted to heaven. It has a way of bringing soul, mind, and heart together to help you focus on God. As Psalm 98:4 (NLT) says, “Shout to the Lord, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy!”

Some Christians believe that since they are not musically talented, they cannot praise God through song. You may be one of these people. Perhaps you were even told you do not have a good singing voice. Don’t be discouraged. Lift your voice to your heavenly Father. Singing to the Lord is more a matter of your heart than your voice. So, shout your praises and sing unto the Lord, bringing music to His ears!
