WAH LOK'S WORSHIP DEVOTIONS 


Wah Lok

Welcome to my devotional page. I have written these devotions specially for those involved in the worship ministry. As you read them daily, I hope you will walk closer with God. Try to do one devotion per day and not all at one go. I pray my devotional thoughts will help you dedicate your music to God.


Day 7 - THE SONGS THAT GOD HATES

Scripture Reading: Amos 5:21-24

Amos 5:21-24
21"I hate, I despise your feast days,
And I do not savor your sacred assemblies. 
22Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them,
Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings. 
23Take away from Me the noise of your songs,
For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments. 
24But let justice run down like water,
And righteousness like a mighty stream.



Discussion

When I discovered this scripture, it became a solemn reminder to me how I should view my songs. God is interested in changed lives more than beautiful songs. If you do not love justice and righteousness, don't bother with your music and worship. God will absolutely hate our songs and fanciful services. 

Many are caught up with the presentation of music more than the presence of God. God is more interested that we are changed by His Word. God is not merely interested in good music and "worship". Our lives must be changed before we can be good worshippers.


Prayer

Father, I pray you help me to love justice and righteousness. I pray you will change my life so that my songs will be acceptable to you.
