My Song, My Strength
By T. S. Candee on January 29, 2025 in 3-Minute Daily Devotions for Men
The first song recorded in scripture is the Song of Moses and Miriam in Exodus 1. It was a song of praise and thanks to God for rescuing the Israelites from the Egyptian army. The entire assembly sang it together. Many years later in the Promised Land, Judges 5 records the song of another duo, Deborah and Barak. They praised God for His power and faithfulness after defeating a Canaanite king.
Then, of course, there’s King David, whose musical talents are on record in the book of Psalms. And though we don’t have them today, according to 1 Kings 4:32, David’s son Solomon wrote 1,005 songs.
Paul admonishes you to “be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:18-19). Don’t worry how you sound. Embrace the power of singing praises to the One who loves to listen.
But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
