April 18 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;

رَنِّمُوا للهِ تَرنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً. غَنُّوا للهِ يا كُلَّ أهلِ الأرْضِ. ² غَنُّوا للهِ، بارِكُوا اسْمَهُ. حَدِّثُوا بِخَلاصِهِ يَوماً بَعدَ يَومٍ. ³ أخبِرُوا بِمَجدِهِ بَينَ الشُّعُوبِ. أخبِرُوا كُلَّ النّاسِ بِعَجائِبِهِ. ⁴ لأنَّ اللهَ عَظِيمٌ وَمُستَحِقٌّ لِلتَّسبِيحِ!

  Psalm 96:1-4

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 inseparable, unfailing, deep and everlasting love for me and Your abundant blessings in my life. 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 and my redemption, forgiveness, justification, reconciliation, sanctification and glorification. 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 The King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Jesus my Lord and Saviour, I pray. To Him be the glory, the power, the dominion, the majesty and the blessings forever and ever and unto ages of ages.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
