When we sing to God, we sing songs that lift-up, praise, and edify His name. We often use the term “worship” to describe this time of singing. We can also say that we are, through music, honoring God, adoring Him, showing reverence, or glorifying Him.
The words in the songs that we sing at Church at the Bay most often come from Scripture—straight out of God's word, the Bible. After singing at church on Sunday, I regularly have those songs “stuck” in my head. I will find myself doing errands or household chores and singing those tunes. And as I’m singing them, I think about the words and my worship continues! I love that worship is not confined to our Sunday service or my quiet time… Worship can happen anywhere at any time. God wants us to worship Him all day long—for who He is and for the works of His hands.

My favorite lyrics of late are, “Our God is greater. Our God is stronger. God, You are higher than any other. Our God is healer, awesome in power. Our God, Our God.” Aren’t these words so powerful?! I will pray these words, acknowledging Him and praising Him through prayer. Whether I am singing or praying, I know I am deepening my relationship with God because I am doing what He created me to do: worship Him!
Psalm 150 says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
Music helps me connect to God in an intimate way. What does that for you? You don’t have to be a good singer, an eloquent prayer, or a detailed observer to be a good worshiper. If you’re driving with the windows down, you can thank Him and praise Him for the weather. Worship Him for giving you another day of life. Adore His creations (people, trees, sunshine, etc). God wants our worship. He wants to hear from us. And He wants us to hear from Him!
