'Devote yourselves to prayer...' Colossians 4:2
With 150 songs, written by at least seven different authors, the book of Psalms shows us that even thousands of years ago people were writing songs, belting out heart-wrenching ballads and bursting into feel-good-factor lyrics.
Through good times and bad, they used music to big up God and their certain confidence in His goodness, majesty and power. Thanks to technology, much has changed since the days of the Psalmists. Distances that took months to travel can be reached in hours. Messages that took weeks to deliver can now be texted in an instant. But one thing remains the same: the speed by which you can reach God in prayer.
Words to God - whether sung, spoken, thought or written down - are prayers. And Psalms lets us know that we can talk to God about anything and everything, good and bad. In the lyrics of the Psalms we discover a God who wants us to be real, honest and open with Him about what's going on in our hearts and heads.
So 'devote yourselves to prayer': talk to Him, sing to Him, write to Him today. Every time you buckle a seatbelt, send a text, dial a number, type in a chatbox, remember with God you always have instant access.
