Psalm 87

Psalm 87 
English Standard Version (ESV)

  Music is a form of expression.  It can express deep love and joy, or it can express sorrow and regret.  The Psalms are meant to be sung, prayers that speak of wonder and awe and pain and despair.  The gamut of emotions is covered here in the Psalms, and it is amazing to think of all this holy language to express our lives before God.
  As our day unfolds, we sing our own song to God.  It may be a song filled with joy for all the amazing things God is doing.  It may be a song of confusion, or a song that questions where God is in the day.  Each day is a new song, and yet it is vitally important that we remember to lift this song toward God in heaven, directing our efforts to his kingdom rather than our own.

  May we remember who gives us the ability to sing, and may we offer our songs to him
