Songs in the House - ZAIN

Bible Reading:  Psalm 119:49-56

Key Verse: Verse 54 – “Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.”

Key Words: my songs in the house


The psalmist was continually wrestling with problems and adverse situations.  These problems and situations were caused by wicked men who hated David because of his Godliness.


In spite of all this, David clings to God’s Word.  As a matter of fact, it’s because of God’s Word that David is able to have a song both in his heart and mouth.


His father was a successful barber, so everyone assumed young George would follow in the family trade.  Unfortunately for his dad, George was more interested in music.  Unfortunately for George, his dad thought musicians were nothing more than “vagabonds.”  At age seven, the Duke of Weissenfels accidentally heard George playing around on an organ.  The Duke encouraged George’s father to develop his son’s obvious talent.  Since a Duke’s request was not to be taken lightly, George was given lessons while his father hoped the boy’s love for music would pass.  Mr. Handel was mistaken.  His son’s passion only grew, and he became the “Celebrated Saxon.”  George Friedrich Handel believed his music was a gift from God and composing was his calling.


It is said that Handel’s music was a result of God’s Word flowing from his heart.


So I ask you, is there a song in your heart?

What to do:  

Make sure Godly music is a part of your life.
