Subject: When God Sings |
Bible Note: That is so beautiful, I fear I will spoil it by trying to add to it. The Lord will call on his speople to sing (v. 14). He will also sing to his people? I wonder when that will be. But would you not say there are other times when God has sung? What do we have in Isaiah 5? It may not be the happiest of songs, but it is a love song, I think, from God, to his Son, about his people. Some say that God dictated it, and it was the prophet who sang it. What do you say? In Deuteronomy 31 God gave them a song to sing. "Write ye this song for you", he says, "and teach it the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths". The Psalms are songs, and we may think of some of them (Psalm 22, Psalm 40, Psalm 69) as Jesus' songs. The Song of Solomon also has a part for the bridegroom. Is he simply Solomon, and not also the King of kings, and the church's bridegroom? Is he not there singing to her? In Psalm 22, he promised tha the would sing with us, and in Hebrews 2, it seems that he fulfills it. He is not ashamed to call us brethren. He says, "I will declare your name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto you". When we gather in his name, and he is with us, and we are singing praise to God, is he not singing with us? I worry sometimes when we put words into God's mouth in song. ("My life was given for thee ... What hast thou given to me?") But there are so many songs we sing to God. It is good to see that he will also sing to us. |
