1 Samuel 10:5 After that you shall come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.

I do love how the prophets would get such clear direction from God to present to others… does it still happen today?

Yes it does. But so many of us are not willing to listen to those prophecies when they do come.

When God is trying to tell you something, you may not get the whole group of prophets with a band coming down the road to meet you – it may just be you and God!

Are you willing to listen even if there is not a huge song and dance going on about it?

1 Chronicles 13:8 Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

When David came to move the ark he did not take it lightly. He ensured he had more than enough people to dance and play instruments ensuring people knew how important God was.

He chose various skilled people to come together to make a wonderful noise for God.

What we need to remember though is that God is still just and will still be God even though we may be enjoying ourselves praising Him.

God keeps His promises and He keeps His rules. Remember that at all times.

Psalm 33:3 Sing to Him a new song; Play skilfully with a shout of joy.

How do you worship God? Are you caught up in a place where you are not allowed to openly worship Him or are you able to get up and sing always?

My prayers do go out to all those people around the world who are not able to openly worship our God when we have the ability to worship so openly in the UK.

Don’t hold back just because you think you may be the only one; make a noise for Christ. If you cannot sing, make another type of noise, but do it to the best of your ability!
