Psalm 95:1-3 - Singing to God Has Health Benefits.Psalm 95:1-3 (NKJV) Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with Psalms. 3 For the Lord is the great God, And the great King above all gods.INTRODUCTION Songs, shouts, gratitude, and praise erupted from those gathered to worship the Lord. While Scripture gives many examples of stillness and silence in God's presence, it also gives many examples of raucous worship. Both peaceful silence and enthusiastic praise are appropriate expressions of worship to our great God. [Life Application SB 2019] COMMENTARY PEARL An Amazing Fact: We all know that birds, bugs, and frogs are natural singers. But other animals that sing include some fish, mice, and bats - usually too high pitched for human ears - humpbacks whales, belugas, and even certain species of ground squirrels. In most instances, it is a male serenading a female with love songs. (note: birds are very active in singing praises to God at the dawn of each new day.) A multitude of research studies confirm that singing is good for humans. To start with, singing releases endorphins - pain-killing hormones that cause happiness - in our brains. Singing can lower stress, improve sleep, and increase the function of the immune system. Musical therapies, some still in the research phase, are being used to successfully treat patients with dementia, depression, and other medical conditions. Singing can help to clear the sinuses and respiratory tubes, tone your stomach and facial muscles, improve your posture, and increase your lung capacity and mental alertness. There's no doubt that singing has many physical and emotional benefits. Music and singing are wonderful gifts from God. And when we use songs to praise God, our spiritual lives benefit as well. The psalmist encouraged us to sing to our great God, to "come before His presence with thanksgiving," to praise Him as the Creator of all things and "the Rock of our salvation."
