揚聲再唱
讀 經：詩篇96篇
金 句：「要向耶和華歌唱，稱頌他的名，天天傳揚他的救恩。」（詩篇96：2）
全年讀經：約伯記5－7章
在某個名為「讓美國再度歡唱！」的活動中，一群音樂教育工作者公佈了一份列有四十二首歌曲的目錄，他們認為這些歌曲是國家文化的精髓，美國人應該讓這些歌代代相傳。這張歌名目錄按英文字母順序排列，第一首是「奇異恩典」（Amazing Grace），最後以「盡情奔跑在陽光下」（Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah）結束。
此團體的負責人說：「我們有整整一代人在其成長的過程當中，沒有唱過這些歌，而這些歌正是我們生活的一部份。」
不單是在美國，在每個國家的文化中，音樂在人們的生活都佔有很重要的地位。
身為基督徒，我們擁有最豐富的音樂遺產。在日常讀經和禱告時，我喜歡同時應用聖經和讚美詩歌。有時候，一首古老的歌，卻能給我們帶來新的希望。我可能因聽到某首熟悉的詩歌，而喚起對上帝是信實的記憶，或是重燃委身事奉的熱情之火。比僅僅是回憶更重要的是，這歌聲也是讚美上帝的歌聲。
在詩篇96：2中，詩人鼓勵我們：「要向耶和華歌唱，稱頌他的名，天天傳揚他的救恩。」為何不在今日此刻，就打開久已遺忘的讚美詩歌本，重新發掘一些宣揚信心的偉大信息，而且揚聲再唱！DCM
向坐在天上掌權的上帝揚聲頌贊，
他是創造萬物的上帝，
全能的上帝，慈愛的上帝，
賜我們救恩的上帝。Schutz

Sing Again
Read: Psalm 96
Sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. --Psalm 96:2
As part of a campaign called "Get America Singing . . . Again," a group of music educators has published a list of 42 songs that it believes Americans must continue singing to preserve an important part of the national culture. The list begins alphabetically with "Amazing Grace" and ends with "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah." The group's president said, "We have a whole generation that has grown up without singing songs like these--songs that are . . . part of who we are."
Not only in the United States, but in every country and culture, music is an important part of who people are.
As Christians, we have a wonderful heritage of music. I enjoy using a hymnbook along with the Bible during my time of daily reading and prayer. Sometimes words written many years ago bring a fresh message of hope. I may encounter a familiar song that sparks a memory of God's faithfulness or rekindles a flame of devotion. More than a memory of the past, it becomes a vehicle to praise God today.
Psalm 96:2 encourages us to "sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day." Why not open that long-neglected hymnbook today, rediscover some marvelous messages of faith, and sing . . . again! --DCM
Sing praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation. --Schütz
The devil dreads a singing Christian. --Luther
