Worship is not an event ~ it is a lifestyle. It is also a life-skill. I love the four-prongs of Psalm 98:4. It says, “Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.” The first three indicate spontaneous worship. Each one could be describing worship with a new song.

To sing praises in Hebrew means to sing songs accompanied by musical instruments. I love the picture of David. He was full-on worshiping the Lord as they brought in the ark. 1 Chronicles 15:29 says that King David was whirling and playing music.

We have so much to be thankful for. When we focus on what the Lord has done for us, it sets the stage to shout joyfully, break into song, or just rejoice in Him. Paul encouraged his readers to “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” Philippians 4:4.
