Prayer – Lord, it is a privilege to sing praises to You. May my songs bring joy to Your heart…as well as to my heart.
Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful. O Israel, rejoice in your Maker. O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King. Praise his name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp. For the LORD delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them. Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds. Let the praises of God be in their mouths, and a sharp sword in their hands—to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings with shackles and their leaders with iron chains, to execute the judgment written against them. This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones. Praise the LORD! Psalm 149:1-9
Meditate. Sing a new song to the Lord for this coming New
Year!
We recently praised the Lord in celebrating the His birth.
Now it is time to continue praising the Lord—as we await His return. In
believing in Jesus as our Savior we are offered eternal life in these last
days.
And remember that
the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward
you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during
your time as "foreigners in the land." For you know that God paid a
ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And
the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. It was the precious blood of
Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. God chose him as your ransom long
before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days. 1
Peter 1:17-20
Let us sing for joy!
As the Scriptures say,
"People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The
grass withers and the flower fades. But the word of the Lord remains
forever." And that word is the Good News that was preached to you. 1 Peter
1:24-25
