The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, and majestic in his radiant splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him today and what came to my heart and mind 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.

And, 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.
My worship of God should be new, exciting and fresh each and every day. I 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"!
