Laura Smith, the woman in the video, also points out how each human being was literally created with music “hardwired” into them.

Laura then highlights a command in a passage in Psalms, a book literally made up of songs, in which David instructs Christians to sing out about the Lord and His good works in our lives. 

“All music is powerful, but David doesn’t instruct us to sing any old song,” she says. “He tells us to sing to God, to praise His name, to proclaim His salvation.”

Laura also mentions how singing praise music about God can assist us in overcoming many fears, struggles and trials in life.

“When we’re struggling, we can use music about Jesus to remind us, to our core, who He is and how He loves us,” she said. “When we have doubts, fears, pains or sorrows, we can sing about God’s goodness, His faithfulness, His holiness, His power and His love.”
