This week we’ll read passages that show God’s people singing. Note, it’s not about skill—we won’t find verses saying, “Sing (if you have a good voice).” It’s not limited to any one day or season. And the Bible doesn’t urge us to sing because we love music, but because we love God and God loves us. Let’s join in the Advent Conspiracy’s call to “worship fully.”
- Today’s New International Version translates verse 2 as “the Lord is my strength and my defense.” A footnote says that it could be “my strength and my song,” a reading many other translations choose. How can songs (and, more broadly) gratitude and praise be a strength and defense in your life? Do you tap into that strength?
- Isaiah states the reason for praise right at the start of this passage: “I will trust and not be afraid.” In what areas of life do you find it natural to trust in God and avoid fear? What fears do you feel that you can ask God to help you with today? What steps help you build that trust, even in the tough parts of life?
