Dear Children,
Last week, we learned that one of the main purposes of songs is to praise God, and that we ought to sing praises to Him every day. Today, we will learn another purpose of songs.
Let us look at what the Bible says: 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.
This verse teaches us that songs can help us learn spiritual truths and guide us in how we should live our lives. There are many wonderful lessons that we can learn from songs, especially from the songs we sing during Sunday School singspiration.
For example, the song "Obedience" teaches us that obedience is the very best way to show that we believe. As Christians, we should obey God's Word and not be disobedient children, for God is not pleased with disobedience.
What about the songs found in the Bible? Let us look at Psalm 1. This psalm teaches us not to follow the ways of wicked people. Instead, we should delight in God's Word and meditate on it day and night. Those who do so will be blessed by God.
Indeed, there are many valuable lessons that we can learn from psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Therefore, whenever we sing, let us pay attention to the words and think about what they teach us. Then, let us apply those lessons to our lives and continue singing these songs daily. In doing so, we will be reminded of God's truth, grow in godliness, and receive His blessing.
