What began as merely adding a song of praise to my playlist launched me into God’s Word and thrilling discovery as God revealed new things. I can’t wait to share where this week’s song by Selah, “You Amaze Us,” leads us in Scripture!
Music is key in our worship, but we discovered what our worship needs to include this week…you might be surprised!
In this week’s episode, I discuss:
- The story behind the song – New Release Tuesday article
- More Than a Song – Episode 1
- Hebrew word siach
- Psalm 119:15
- Psalm 105
- 1 Chronicles 16
- The professional worship team appointed by David
- The assignment given by David to the worship team
- More Than a Song – Episode 17
- Psalm 143
- The meaning of Selah
- More Than a Song – Episode 34, Episode 35 & Episode 36

This Week’s Challenge
First, slow down and remember. Perhaps this is the first episode you have heard, and you have never heard the challenge to write down what God has done for you in Episode 35. Perhaps you heard the challenge and kept thinking you’d get “around to it.” Slow down and remember. In Psalm 105, where the verses in common end, the remembrances begin. A recounting of what God had done in the history of Israel. Recount what God has done in your life. Remember. Write it down. Then, add what you have learned and challenge yourself to discover if you responded in faith and obedience. Use Psalm 105 as inspiration for what a Psalm of remembrance looks like. Use Psalm 143 as an example of what an earnest appeal for guidance and deliverance looks like if that is the season you are in. Meditate on 1 Chronicles 16 and focus on the Levites, whom Scripture says were “expressly named to give thanks to the Lord,” and see what you can learn from their assignment and response.
