majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Psalm 98:1,
"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."
The psalmist begins this psalm of worship with a call to sing a new
song based on the "marvelous things" the Lord has done. This speaks to
me of the reality that our worship needs to be new and fresh each day.
Yesterday's worship will just not do. Our God has done many wonderful
things over the ages and continues to do wonderful things. These are
always appropriate to meditate on as a theme of worship for each new
day.
We serve a big God with a wonderful "god-sized" heart. He has blessed
us with so many things. He sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to die on our
behalf, paying the penalty for our sins. He has called all people to
himself through the gospel message which he launched on that day of
Pentecost two millennia ago. He has freed us from sin and the law. He
has sent his Holy Spirit into our hearts as a down payment,
guaranteeing our inheritance in the resurrection of life. He has
accepted us as his very own children, making us co-heirs with his Son.
Jesus Christ is returning one day for those of us who have embraced
him in faith, our standing before him certain.
So many things the Lord has done that there is never a day when our
worship of God cannot be based on something new he has revealed to us
about himself, something we have gained a recent appreciation for in a
new way. Our worship of God should be new, exciting and fresh each and
every day. We will never exhaust the wonderful works and the wonderful
qualities of our God as grounds for new and meaningful worship. "Sing
to the Lord a new song"!
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share
your thoughts of worship with us from your Bible reading today. We'd
love to hear from you!
