My grandaughter Bailey (she is three) has been practicing Joy to the World for her pre school Christmas Pageant. I am excited to go see her next week and hear all of the children raise there voices in praise to the Lord.
This got me to thinking, how often we gleefully sing Christmas carols without “listening ” to the message. How many of your friends who may or may not go to church sing Christmas Carols? Are they really Joyful about the “coming of the Lord” do they really think it represents a “Holy Night” Is their heart preparing Him room? How often do we sing any hymn with a heart so inclined to the message? May you in your celebration of the Incarnation of the Lord not lose sight of the words you are singing and may our hearts hear the words and may we truly worship Him through the carols we sing.
Joy to the World…The Lord HAS come and I for one am VERY thankful.
