Most all of us have had our children or grandchildren come to us with a picture they had drawn in school or a Sunday School class. Maybe scrawled on the paper with crayon and in yet undeveloped printing ability were the words, “I love you mom.” Or “I love you daddy.”When we were younger and drew pictures for our parents they probably looked a lot like those we now receive.
Do you remember what your parents would often do when you gave them the picture? They would say something like, "Honey what a beautiful picture, I love it", and then they would put in on the refrigerator. Even though it wasn't the prettiest picture in the world it meant a lot to them because you gave it to them, and you did it out of love for them.
By The Way when we worship God we don't have to be the best singers in the world it
just has to be from our hearts. That doesn't mean we should not try to sing nice for God, only that worship should be from our hearts. Like the pictures we drew for our parents, worship should be us giving our best to someone we love. To God it is a beautiful picture that He would put on his refrigerator!

Read Psalm 98 slowly and deliberately and see what God thinks of our worship
1 Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
2 The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
3 He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;
5 make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing,
6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn— shout for joy before the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy; 9 let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.
