Sing to the Lord, for He Has Done Glorious Things

“Sing to the LORD, for He has done glorious things.
Let this be known in all the earth.”
— Isaiah 12:5


In this brief yet powerful verse, the prophet Isaiah calls us to sing—not from obligation, but from recognition. God has done glorious things. His acts are not abstract or hidden; they are real, evident, and worthy of proclamation. The natural response to seeing the hand of God in our lives and in history is not silence, but song. Isaiah does not suggest that we keep this song to ourselves. Instead, he insists: Let this be known in all the earth.

This verse shifts the tone of music from personal expression to public witness. Singing becomes missional. It becomes a means of telling others—not just what we believe, but what God has done. Music becomes a testimony, capable of crossing boundaries and echoing across nations. In times when words fall short or are easily dismissed, a song can carry truth with power and beauty, compelling hearts to listen and remember.

Reflect for a moment on what glorious things God has done in your life. Have you paused lately to name them, to notice them, to let gratitude rise into song? And have you shared that song? Sometimes we think of worship as a private experience, but Isaiah reminds us that our singing can also be a way of making God’s greatness known in the world. What might it mean for you to let your praise be heard—not just by God, but by others?

Today, let your singing be a declaration. Whether it is in a sanctuary, a rehearsal room, a kitchen, or a quiet walk outdoors, let your voice carry the truth of God’s goodness. Choose a song that names His glory clearly, or create your own—one that tells your story of His work in your life. And as you sing, remember that this is not only an act of worship but a form of proclamation. Let this be known in all the earth: the Lord has done glorious things.


Glorious God,

You have done wondrous things in my life and in the world around me. Thank You for Your mighty works, Your faithfulness, and the beauty of Your salvation. Help me not to keep silent about what You have done. Put a song of testimony in my mouth, and let it carry beyond my own heart so others may hear of Your greatness. Give me courage to let my praise be a witness—not only to You, but to those who need to know Your power and love. May my singing proclaim to all the earth that You alone are God and You have done glorious things.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Lamentations 3:22-23 – Even Through the Bad, God is Faithful

Image
The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. --Lamentations 3:22-23 NASB The most significant thing about this wonderful passage is where we find it in the Bible. The Book of Lamentations tells of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, which took place over 587 and 586 BC when Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar overran the city. The surviving inhabitants either fled to other countries, were carried away to Babylon as slaves or remained under the brutal rule of an occupying force. Lamentations does not name its author, but it is generally attributed to the prophet Jeremiah. For many years Jeremiah had warned the people and their leaders about their unfaithfulness to God. Jeremiah knew that being chosen by God did not translate to a free pass. He knew that actions had consequences. If God's people were not faithful to God's instructions, bad things would happen. But even...

Study of James 5:19-20

My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins. — James 5:19-20 James concludes his letter with a final exhortation, emphasizing the importance of restoring those who have wandered from the truth. He speaks to the responsibility believers have toward one another—not only to encourage and strengthen the faithful but also to help those who have drifted away from God’s path. James acknowledges that believers can stray, whether through sin, doubt, or deception. Rather than judging or condemning them, he urges the church to pursue them with love and compassion, seeking to bring them back to the truth. The one who helps restore a wandering soul is participating in a redemptive work, covering a multitude of sins. This phrase reflects the biblical theme that love and grace bring reconciliation, both between individuals and ...

Bible Study: Lydia

On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together. A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul. When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay.” So she persuaded us. — Acts 16:13-15 WEB* On his second missionary trip, Paul visited the Roman colony of Philippi (FILL-uh-pie) along with Silas, Luke and Timothy. Philippi was on the famous Egnatian Road—a trade route from Asia to Rome. The city was important during the New Testament due to its agriculture, location, functioning gold mines, and Roman status. Lydia was a businessworman whose name may have come from the Hellenistic district where the town of Thyatira (thigh-uh-TIE-r...
