VERSE:
  I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing of you
among the peoples.
    -- Psalm 108:3

THOUGHT:
  Songs go where evangelism, witnessing, and planned outreach
sometimes cannot go. Songs tell a story, offer praise, and deliver
truth in a package that opens the heart and stirs the emotions.
Songs give life to the soul and stir something primal, buried deep
inside by God. When you are around friends you are trying to reach
with the Gospel, listen for the kind of music they like. Then when
the time is right, point them to songs that share the message of
the Gospel with a melody and beat that can stir their hearts. God
wants us to praise him, not just in our sanctuaries and churches,
but with our friends and across cultures. He wants us to sing in
ways that help other people know the "heart song" of our Redeemer's
love.

PRAYER:
  Almighty God and righteous Father, thank you so much for the
gift of song. Thank you for lyricists that capture the mood of our
hearts and the word of your grace and help move others closer to
faith. Please bless all those involved in bringing Christian songs
to the public and making your Word more understandable to the
masses. Empower singing in your Church, and help us to sing of your
salvation in ways that reach all peoples on the earth. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.
