And David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. (II Samuel 22:1 ESV)
Sing
Towards the end of his life, King David contemplated how much God had done for him. And he responded to that contemplation with a song. It was not the first song David had written about God. It was not the longest song David had written about God. I am not sure how exactly to evaluate whether or not it was the best song David had written about God, but I like this one.
A song is a good way to respond to God’s work.
You might say, “But I am no musician, or composer, or writer!”
And you might be right.
But God’s work in our lives is worth writing even a poor song.
You do not have to publish it. You do not have to present it to any human. You do not have to claim it is beautiful, artistic, or monetarily valuable.
But it will be about what God has done for you. And that makes it grand.
Music plays a part in our body, mind, heart, and soul.
Go ahead and write that song for God.
We are peculiar, we can sing.
