Why sing?
Most
birds sound like sopranos. Every now and
then you hear an alto, but regardless they are always singing. Whether early in the morning or in the wee
hours of the night, they sing. They neither
have a roof over their head or a chef to cook to provide meals, they sing. In storm, snow and blazing heat without air
conditioning or the warmth of a fire, they sing. A bird will sing. Why does the bird sing whether
alone or with the flock? What prompts
them to chirp? Only God knows.
Psalm
104:12
12 By them the birds of the heavens have their home;
They sing among the branches.
They sing among the branches.
We may not know
for sure why birds sing, but we certainly ought to know why we sing. When we think about the continual flow of
blessing that envelope us each day, praise and song should be our
response. When we consider the Lord’s
death on a cross on behalf of desolate, sinful man, songs of praise should fall
from our lips. No matter our
circumstance in life, a song of thankfulness should be heard by all who come
near. What prompts us to sing? Jesus is the reason. He bids us sing. Why we do not sing, God only
knows.
