One of the reasons we sing is to be reminded of what God has done in our lives. Many of us can probably think of a hymn or song we sang a long time ago that still holds influence on us today.
Some of us can remember the first Christian song we sang after putting our faith in Jesus. Some of us were singing at the very moment that we put our faith in Him. Some of us can mark a moment when God was very close to lead us through a tragedy by the way of song. Others can remember pouring out praise in a moment of great joy. And when we sing those songs again, it’s an opportunity to be encouraged and excited and humbled all over again..
As you remember God’s faithfulness in your past, so often etched in your hearts through a song, you are inspired and equipped to face the ups and downs of the week. This is one of the reasons you need a good amount of good songs stored up to carry with you through all of your life.
