“The LORD is my strength and song, and he is
become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation;
my father's God, and I will exalt him.” (Exodus 15:2)
Sound
helps us to focus and has been taken advantage of for this purpose
throughout antiquity. Evidenced by Isaiah 55:12 and Isaiah 44:23, pure
sound preceded language as a component of worship. The syllable om from
Sanskrit, the original language of
India, considered sacred and centrally important in various Dharmic
religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, has been included in mantras
repeated to aid concentration on various aspects of the divine during
meditation since ancient times. Why then should I, having tasted the
sincere milk of the Word and experienced proof that the Lord is gracious
(1 Peter 2:2-3), let the cat have my tongue and let the Ancient of Days
find me silent? No rock will ever need to cry out in my stead (Luke
19:40), for I shall not be silent regarding the Lord’s infinite
goodness. Hallelujah!
“I will bless the LORD at all times: his
praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast
in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.” (Psalm 34:1-2)
If you don’t hear me giving the Lord praise, I must be asleep.
Hallelujah! If you don’t hear me singing a song of gratitude or
adoration, please check my pulse. Praise God! If you pass my space and
fail to hear the resounding tone of a drum or sustain from a high
sounding cymbal, please pray that I am either in prayer (Matthew 6:6),
studying to show myself approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15), or resting
in the bosom of my Father who art in heaven (John 1:18). For now, as
annoying as it is to God’s enemies, I shall continue to make a joyful
noise! Hallelujah! “Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD.” (Psalm 150:6)

"For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." (Romans 10:11)
They will pick a fight with you (Proverbs 13:10). Not because they don't love you, but because they feel overwhelmed by loneliness, imaginary rejection, pain, discontent, and spiritual frustration. Faith seemed ineffective to them. Therefore, like Abraham, they chose to try plan B. In this case, plan B turned out to be aggravating you in order to get your attention. http://www.anointedwritenow.com/#!form/cyd6
Furthermore, as it seemed to them that God was indifferent and unmoved by their incessant bellyaching, murmuring, negativity, and complaining, you, my friend, have been chosen as the next top supermodel in America most accessible and seemingly available to be terrorized by their nightmarish brand of charming annoyance and attempted manipulation. You are it. Congratulations! Yet, do not take the bait of Satan! http://www.anointedwritenow.com/#!form/cyd6
Bring the matter to a conclusion. Stop the madness now, tell them to talk to the hand if need be, and preach them awake with the Word of the only living God (Matthew 4:1-11). Hallelujah! Bless His holy name! He is attentive to hear the cry of all who fear Him (Psalm 34:15), intimately know His name (1 Chronicles 16:8), and hope steadfastly in His goodness (Psalm 25:3).
