Sing to the LORD a new song. – Psalm 96:1

Isn’t it wonderful that God is in the business of NEW?  The Bible tells us His mercies are new every morning, we are a new creation in Christ, and God is making us new from the inside out.  That’s great news! 

Maybe that’s why we like new things.  We love wearing a new outfit to an important event, the smell of a new car, and the comfortable feel of a new couch.  New things are clean and uncluttered.  New looks good.

I bet even those of you who collect antiques agree that some things are just better new.  Like crisp sheets on the bed, freshly painted toenails, or an unread book.  

I can’t stand waking up on a new day with yesterday’s messes still laying around:  the dishes piled high in the sink or stacks of papers and tasks left undone.  

Even worse than yesterday’s dishes is yesterday’s guilt.  When we carry our guilt and shame from the past into a new day, God must shake His head and say, “No my child, you are forgiven now forgive yourself.”  God wants to free us to enjoy this new day.

The Psalm above encourages us to sing to the LORD a new song.  He tells us how this song is to sound.

Sing to the LORD a new song; all the earth.

Sing to the LORD, praise His name;

Proclaim His salvation day after day.

Declare His glory among the nations, 

His marvelous deeds among all peoples. 

- Psalm 96:1-3 

So today, let your heart sing a new song of thanksgiving because God’s mercies are new every day, Let’s declare the great deeds God has done in our lives and know that day by day, He is making us new. 

The Power of Giving God Thanks Will Ignite Your Faith and Change Your World!
