The use of instruments and singing to worship the Lord reached its zenith in David’s reign. His Psalms and those of other Levite leaders are still used today to provide appropriate lyrical expression to sincere worshipers. Contemporary worship leaders are wise to carefully study this period of Israel’s history to form a doctrinally healthy approach to the use of singing and instruments in today’s churches.

God wants and deserves more worship, not less.

PRAYER: Lord, we still come before Your presence with singing and thanksgiving. Thank You for the richness of the Psalms to provide wording to worship You in Spirit and Truth.
