Hi, friend, thanks for joining us for this edition of Our Daily Bread.

Today's reading is titled Sing Praise to God, and it was written by Amy Boucher Pie.

The heat and humidity of the Midwestern summer closed in on us all week at the discipleship

conference, but on the last day, we welcomed a front of cooler air.

Giving thanks for the break in weather and the amazing work God had done, hundreds joined voices

to worship God. Many felt liberated to sing wholeheartedly before God,

offering hearts, souls, bodies, and minds to him.

As I think back to that day decades later,

I'm reminded of the pure wonder and joy of praising God.

King David knew how to wholeheartedly worship God.

He rejoiced when the Ark of the Covenant,

which signified God's presence, was placed in Jerusalem

by dancing, leaping, and celebrating.

Even though his wife Michael observed his abandon

and despised him in her heart, David didn't

let her criticism stop him from worshipping the one true God. Even if he appeared undignified,

he wanted to give thanks to God for choosing him to lead the nation.

In First Chronicles 16, David appointed Asaph and his assault. choosing him to lead the nation.

In 1st Chronicles 16, David appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise to the

Lord in this manner.

Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name, make known among the nations what he has done.

Sing to him, sing praise to him, tell of all his wonderful acts.
