and rejoice before him.
Psalm 68:4

for complete sermon on Psalm 68:4
As we were taught very specifically about singing praises
and extoling, we see once again, that we are told very specifically also
about rejoicing. We see that our rejoicing must be before
him.
The word of Christ is what
we are to have dwell in our hearts, NOT the music.
Colossians 3:16 Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace
in your hearts to the Lord.
It seems that people have come to need a specific musical style and/or
arrangement to get them to 'rejoice'. Special 'orchesetrations' or
a specific 'instrumentations' are being written to "aid and attract" in
our rejoicing, but we must to be wary that we don't rejoice BECAUSE
of the music; we should instead rejoice WITH the music.
And our rejoicing must come FROM HIM because of all those wonderful
and marvelous doings, etc. that would cause us to rejoice. Anything
else would just be of the world, the flesh and the devil! Matthew
6:24 No man can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold
to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Rejoice
Before Him
FROM ME, FROM HIM

| And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt

of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained
by David king of Israel. And all the congregation worshipped, and
the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until
the burnt offering was finished. And when they had made an end of
offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves,
and worshipped. Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded
the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of
Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed
their heads and worshipped. |

singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer. Also that day they
offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with
great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of
Jerusalem was heard even afar off. And all Israel in the days of
Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers
and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things
unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of
Aaron. |
