Bible Reading: Judges 5

Key Verse: Verse 1  - “Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,”

Key Words: Then sang Deborah and Barak

This chapter is known as the song of Deborah, but it’s actually a song of praise to the Lord for the great victory He gave (verses 2 – 4).

Our Daily Bread records an old Jewish legend which says that after God had created the world, He called the angels to Himself and asked them what they thought of it.  One of them said, “The only thing missing is the sound of praise for the great Creator.”  So God created music, and it was heard in the whisper of the wind and in the song of the birds.  He also gave man the gift of song to “praise Him for His marvelous works.”

Sebastian Bach once said, “The sole purpose of music is to bring praise to God.”

At the top of all his music, he wrote the initials “J.J.” (“Jesu Juva”) which is the Latin abbreviation for Jesus, help me; and at the bottom of all his music, he wrote the initials “SDG” which stands for “Soli Dei Gloria:” To God Alone be the Glory.

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!  Amen and amen.
