March 13 Devotion - Sing to The Lord a new song

Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. ² Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. ³ Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

⁴ For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all

(so called) gods. Psalm 96:1-4

رَنِّمُوا لِلرَّبِّ تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً. رَنِّمُوا لِلرَّبِّ يَا سَاكِنِي الأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً. ² رَنِّمُوا للرَّبِّ. بَارِكُوا اسْمَهُ. بَشِّرُوا بِخَلاَصِهِ يَوْماً فَيَوْماً. ³ أَعْلِنُوا مَجْدَهُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَعَجَائِبَهُ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ كُلِّهَا. ⁴ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ عَظِيمٌ وَجَدِيرٌ بِكُلِّ حَمْدٍ؛ هُوَ مَرْهُوبٌ أَكْثَرَ جِدّاً مِنْ جَمِيعِ الآلِهَةِ. 

It was a custom that poets/psalmists wrote a new song whenever God had a new large blessing for the people.

We see in this song/hymn that we are called to praise and bless(affectionately praise) God and give Him glory.

Three times we are here called to sing unto the Lord; sing to the Father, to the Son, to the Holy Ghost, as it was

in the beginning. This new song is a new New-Testament song, a song of praise for the new covenant and the precious privileges of that covenant, it looks further to The Kingdom of Christ.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank you for your abundant blessings and inseparable love. Lord I sing a new song,

a song of Your New Covenant, a song of my salvation through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.

Lord whenever I feel low or focus on anything other than Jesus help me to refocus on Christ by

singing this new song, to sing to You LORD, to proclaim Your glory and Your wonderful news of

The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Never let me forget that I am a loved and adored child of God.

I declare Your glory Lord among the nations, and Your marvelous deeds among all peoples for

You are great and worthy of all praise.

In the name of my Lord and Saviour, in the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
