Seven Hebrew Words for Praise (part 5)
5. zamar (zaw-mar’) – (verb)
to touch the strings or parts of a musical instrument…
to make music, accompanied by the voice…
to celebrate in song and music…
to give praise, sing forth praises…
Ps.21:13 - Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might.
Singing and music are the natural human response to joy and gladness.
I can tell when my wife is happy – she’s singing or humming a tune
God made us with hearts that want to sing and make music when we’re glad.
Of course, the Psalms are all original Hebrew songs.
Singing and making music are Biblically appropriate ways for us to praise God.
Every culture has its unique musical styles.
Imagine a mighty chorus of praise rising from the earth, praise that begins in the hearts of the redeemed – those from every nation, every language, every tribe.
(Not to mention the song of praise from other living things and even inanimate objects!)

Where are parts 6 & 7 to the Hebrew words for praise?
I checked OSU Expat for the first time in months and was surprised to see it is now in hiatus. Then I linked to this site and find the most recent post is 2/9. What can I say? It's not disappointment, but understanding that the wonderful gift of life has been laid in your lap and with this great blessing comes all due responsibility and joy. Bless you brother as you pursue all of the delights as a father. I often think about how our experiences as earthly fathers are so closely related to how God must feel about us. He holds us gently in his hands, cares for us and provides for us, even when we are not aware or appreciative of his blessing. Care for that child, support him, love him and mold him into his true purpose: to be a solid man of God and spread the truth to those who so desperately need it.
