Play Skillfully on Strings with Loud Shouts
I think every other time I've read this it had a sense of triteness to it (that would obviously have to be an indictment on my heart rather than the scripture). Somehow reading this now I feel the excitement and exultation intended. Maybe, it has to do with the mental connection, whether legitimate or not, I'm making with a performance I honestly feel privileged to have caught last night. Something about their expression and movements perfectly illustrate this passage for me. Although the quality is severely lacking in this clip, their performance is clearly self evident. Knowing that they love Jesus leads me to believe that this goal is somehow present in their minds as they play together. It makes me want to express to Jesus everything. It makes my heart long to play and shout in worship to my King. Call me silly if you want, but I felt something emanating from my television and didn't have a category for what I was seeing until I read these words this morning.
