BIBLE TEXT: "Let the word of God 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" (Colossians 3:16).
Ludwig van Beethoven lived from 1770 - 1827. He was one of the most famous classical music composers; he completed his famed ninth symphony in 1823 being completely deaf. He was an innovator; he widened the scope of sonata, symphony, concerto and quarter. He combined both vocals and instruments in a new way that pulled crowds to God. His personal life was marked by a struggle against deafness and some of his most important works were composed during the last 10 years of his life, when he was quite unable to hear. He died in 1827 at the age of 56. His songs were soul saving and soul inspiring. According to John & Carolyn Murphy, "Satan has infiltrated the musical artists, producers and distributors of western secular music. This music proclaims messages of immorality, lust, sex, rebellion, anti - Christian, anti - Christ and even murder and suicide".
The word of God admonishes us to sing hymns and spiritual songs unto the Lord. Faced with challenges? Lift up your voice and worship God in hymns and songs and your burdens will roll away.
CHALLENGE: draw sinners to God through your songs.
PRAYER: Lord, use me to sing inspiring godly songs.
