Immediately, my mind went to the emphasis that God has placed on singing. What does it say about us when our singing is passionless or non-existent? If we do love the Lord with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, will not that authenticity be detected in our voices? Yes, the voice is like a mirror of the human heart. He deserves to receive the fruit of our lips, so let's offer him authentic, heart-felt praise!
Of all the post-coverage of the Iowa presidential debates, I was fascinated by an intriguing analysis from two physicians whose commentary focused on the inflections and tones of the human voice. Their discussion centered around a tool that presumably could determine the various stress levels of the human voice while speaking, revealing a more accurate picture of a person's actual thoughts. In fact, one of the specialists made the statement that, "The human voice is like a mirror of the heart."

Thank you! You have definitely provoked us to worship from the heart. God knows our emotions and what is coming from this pure worship.

He certainly does, Lynne. I wish more of our brothers and sisters would open up their hearts a little more, instead of being so reserved by intentionally withholding their true feelings in worship. I'm speaking in reference to those who possess abundant joy and gratitude, but do not express it. Thanks for your comment!
