Shouting

Sometimes I think we're just too quiet about our Joy. We're domesticated, dignified, "civilized," and celebrate in only the most restrained ways.

Biblical counsel is for person self-control and orderliness in worship, but we also read that Joy should cause us to rock the place:

"Come, let's shout praises to GOD, raise the roof for the Rock who saved us!" (Psalm 95:1)

When was the last time, men, that you let out a genuine shout to God? Feel uncomfortable about the idea of shouting to the Lord? Review your reasons why, and see if they have more to do with pride -- or will lack of Joy -- than anything biblical.
