JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Eye on Integrity is based on Psalm 40, verse 3.

David said this about the LORD, “He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.”

When the grace of God moves the heart, praise for God becomes the theme of our songs. Jesus said, “Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.” That is what was happening in David’s life. His music became an instrument of praise that became a public testimony of what God had done in his life. This kind of music continues to have an impact on people’s lives today.

Using music as an instrument of praise for God is a virtue to embrace for our lives in the Year of Integrity.
