Sing to the Lord a new song! The Lord is great!


"Sing to the Lord a new song!" (Psalm 96:1).
Singing a new song to the Lord - What does this mean?  Does it mean that we should stop singing songs that were written a long time ago? Does it mean that we should only songs that have just been written? Singing a new song to the Lord - Let's think a bit more deeply about this. God has given us "a new heart" (Ezekiel 36:26).  Let us sing to him - from a new heart. Then, our song will be a new song - even if the words we sing have been around for many years.

"The Lord is great!" (Psalm 96:4).
Think of the greatness of God. Think, especially, of the greatness of his love. He loves us with "an everlasting love" (Jeremiah 31:3). This is the greatest love. This is the best love - the everlasting love of God.

The Lord has reached out to us and claimed us for himself.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord ,  the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!" (Psalm 33:12). Chosen by God, chosen to be blessed by him - the Lord has reached out to us and claimed us for himself. The Lord is our God. We are his people. The Lord has done great things for us. Let us give all the glory to him.  God is "holy" (Psalm 33:21). God is "love" (Psalm 33:22). When you're thinking about God's love, don't forget that he is holy. When you're thinking about God's holiness, remember that He loves you.

Lord, You're calling us to be spiritual leaders. Help us to be faithful in hearing Your Word and doing Your Word.

1 Chronicles 12:8-13:14  "The kingdom of Saul was turned over to David according to the Word of the Lord" (1 Chronicles 12:23). Lord, You're calling us to be spiritual leaders - "let us bring again the ark of our God" (1 Chronicles 13:7). We're to call the people to return to You and rejoice in You (1 Chronicles 13:4,8). We're to warn the people that failure to do Your will leads to the withdrawal of Your blessing (1 Chronicles 13:9-10). Where Your Word is honoured and given its rightful place, there will be blessing among Your people (1 Chronicles 13:14). Help us, Lord, to be faithful in hearing Your Word and doing Your Word. This is the way of obedience and blessing (James 1:22,25).
