I will praise you, O Lord with all my heart. I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you, I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

Psalm 9:1-2

My five year old loves to sing. One particular morning she was in the bathroom looking in the mirror, brushing her hair, and singing. She was belting out a tune at the top of her little lungs. It was a song she put together using truths she had learned in school.

Her song went like this:

‘Jesus is the King of Kings,

Jesus is the King of Kings,

He is the Light of the World!’

My heart just rejoiced listening to those beautiful and true words about our Lord and Savior. Listening to her, I began to wonder how much does our Heavenly Father love to hear His children sing praises to Him?

The Bible tells us He is all deserving and worthy of our praise, whether in church Sunday morning, shopping at the mall, or brushing our hair in the bathroom. He loves to hear our heart sing to Him. Do not worry about how you sound or how you look when singing to the Lord.

God looks upon the heart and loves what He hears. So, let us have a heart like a five year old and just start singing!

Dear Lord, You are all deserving of our praise.
