A New Heart for the Valley Week 2, Day 5

A New Heart for the Valley Week 2, Day 5

AN ADORING HEART

 

1 CHRONICLES 16:4-7

 

David loved to worship from the days he wrote psalms in the field, accompanying his prayers with guitar cords and the sounds of wind and sheep, to the day he danced before the Lord as the ark entered Jerusalem. In our scripture today, we see him appointing a worship staff, led by Asaph, the minister of music. There is a rhythm section, a horn section, and a guitar section. Artistry is part of the people’s worship practice. We are so blessed to have Jennifer, Julia, Travis, and our many other gifted worship leaders. Their creativity and freshness and sincerity deepens our worship as it did long ago in Jerusalem.

 

 

Thank God for all our wonderful musicians and singers!

About the Author
David Joynt

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014. This meant a move away from the Northeast, where he has a long history, growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then serving congregations in Delaware and New Jersey for a total of 23 years.

Dave was nurtured in a great church in Bethlehem where his parents, Anne and Carey, served as elders. He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.

He and Julia have a son, Tristan, and a daughter, Madeleine.
