PS 24 10

Psalm 24:10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Yesterday I ended with the thought, choral unity. Who is in your choir? I am not talking about your home church choir. Many small churches these days do not even have a choir. I am talking about the universal church, the body of Christ, His bride. Whose voices are providing harmony and are you in tune with your section? Every choir has a section. The choir director assigns each singer a place in the section which is appropriate to his or her range of voices ability to keep to their part.

My choir director placed me at the far end of the bass section even though I was a baritone. She did so because I would drift off key and begin to sing the part in the next section. If I could only hear bass, I would stick to my part.

Here we once again encounter Selah at the end of the psalm. The significant pause here to contemplate might be the host. Maybe. Let the Lord decide that for you. I think about the heavenly host. Commonly thought of as angels but since my life is hidden in Christ, doesn’t that make me a part of the host?

That is an overwhelming thought but I cannot let that distract me from singing my part. My tone is important. My words are important. I am part of a choir that is so large it can stagger me into silence just admiring what I am hearing.

Your voice is important. Your tone is important. While you are part of that heavenly choir, your voice is still heard in this world.

“What’s that song you’re singing?”

Another evangelistic moment has just appeared.

  1. Thx for this beautiful and significant post.
    To me, you sound like a bass; maybe your voice has changed. Yes, I’m referring to actual singing voice – nothing deeper than that, no metaphor.
