Do you have a special song to share with a significant person in your life this Valentine’s Day? Did you know there’s power in it? Research shows music can reduce stress and anxiety, relieve chronic pain, and increase coordination, communication and self-esteem.

I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

Psalm 69:30

The Bible also tells of the power of music and songs. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were in prison. As they prayed and sang hymns, their chains were loosened and the prison doors opened. In II Chronicles 20, armies were coming against King Jehoshaphat and Judah. The king prayed and instructed the people to sing to the Lord. When they began to sing, God defeated the armies for them. Paul reminds believers in Ephesians 5 to stay filled with the Spirit by singing hymns and songs and making melody in their hearts.

Today’s verse reminds you to praise the name of God with a song. Remember, there’s power in it. As you spend time in worship today, share a song with Him. Amazing things can happen through song. Also pray for a new song of praise and thanksgiving to manifest in people’s hearts across the nation.
