"Sing
to the Lord, you His faithful ones, and praise His holy name."
The Bible
commands us to sing.
You may say things like, "my voice isn't very
good," or "I'll leave the singing to the pros on stage," but you
may not understand one very important detail about YOUR voice.
God created us with many unique features that we
share with no other person on the planet. You probably know that your
fingerprint is unique to you, but did you know you also have a unique
voiceprint?
I found this quote on a site that specialized in
voiceprint security systems:
"A
voiceprint is a set of measurable characteristics of a human voice that
uniquely identifies an individual. These characteristics, which are based on
the physical configuration of a speaker's mouth and throat, can be expressed as
a mathematical formula."
This means that no one else can worship God the way you
can with your unique voice. No one else can sing to God the way you can. Your
voice is known to your Heavenly Father and He wants to hear it, even if you
think the people around you don't agree.
God,
help me to take comfort in knowing that I have been fearfully and wonderfully
made. Help me to find my identity in who You say I am, a beloved child of God. No
one else has my set of vocal characteristics. You recognize my voice among the
millions, I will use it to sing to my Savior and to speak of Your great name.
Amen.
