A New Song

Psalm 96:1-6

“1 O sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. 3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples. 4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be revered above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. 6 Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.”

The lives of all Christians are to be a “new song” to all the earth; a new way of living, and a new way of thinking.  Our lives are to be an example of God’s love, mercy and forgiveness.  Our example should declare God’s glory.  

We, the believers, are the “marvelous work” of God’s salvation and transforming power for all the world to see.

We are the new song God wants the world to hear.

Sing the new song.

May the love of Christ be with you,

Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
