Sing to the Lord
Have you noticed your child just singing, oblivious to the fact others are listening? When my daughter was a preschooler, she began to sing “Bictorwy in Jesus” (“Victory in Jesus”) at the top of her lungs as I pushed her in the buggy through a large department store. Other shoppers turned and smiled. I resisted the urge to shush my child. She was doing what most of us fail to do, singing to the Lord from her heart. Had she realized others were listening, she most likely would have stopped.
My granddaughter began to sing with the radio as we rode home from a ballgame. “Bwess the Wlord, O my Soul, Ohhhh my soul” (Bless the Lord, O my soul, Ohhh my soul). Her little heart was bursting with praise. We thought she knew the song, but no. No one in the family knew the song.
It seems to be natural for children to sing praises, implanting God’s truths in their hearts and ours. We struggle to impart Biblical truths, when maybe, all we need to do is expose them to the truth in song.
Colossians 3:16 says “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” KJV.
What songs are you singing with your little ones?
