A Moment with Joni Eareckson Tada

Remember to Sing

Episode Summary

There is power in every song of worship.

Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And some days, my wheelchair can feel like a prison. Unable to walk or use my hands, I look at the bolts and bars of my wheelchair, and it can feel so confining! But that’s when I remember to sing. What does singing have to do with feeling trapped? Well, in Acts 16, we read that Paul and Silas were imprisoned – but that did not keep them from praying and singing hymns. What’s more, there was power in their song – chains were broken, prisoners were set free, and souls were saved! Perhaps you, too, like me are feeling trapped by your circumstances: you’ve spent three months without a job or you’ve passed your due date and the pregnancy is just getting harder – whatever be your “prison,” call a friend, meet with a brother or sister in Christ, and together, lift up your voice in song! Remember, there is power in every song of worship! So, sing on, friend!
