"In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." –John 16:33

Singing loud

I read Psalm 98 today.  I liked it a lot.  It talks about making joyful music before the Lord:

Psa 98:4  Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Psa 98:5  Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
Psa 98:6  With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.

It really got me to thinking about how we pray in meeting.  Many say “amen” after each and every prayer.  Some say “amen” after most testimonies.  We have a great meeting in our new home, but hear few amens.  We miss it a lot.  The angels did it:

Rev 7:11  And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God,
Rev 7:12  Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen.

I am going to keep doing it.  I want my kids to know to do it.
