Sing a New Song!

"Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.
Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy."
Psalm 33:1-3

Have you ever thought about writing your own Psalm of praise to the Lord? If we are ever guilty of merely mouthing the words to the songs in our worship service and singing without sincere awe and reverence in our hearts, then maybe we need to consider letting praise arise from our own words and "sing a new song"!

Praise the Lord
For it will bring joy to your heart to sing God's praises
God has given us the freedom to worship Him;
He desires to pour out His blessings upon us.
He comforts our hearts and heals our brokenness.
He is in control of everything and has provided for all our needs.
He is mighty; He is all powerful!
He has all wisdom and gives it to us when we ask.
Sing to the Lord and rejoice!
Raise up beautiful music to the heavens.
He makes the beauty of our world and blesses us with the richness of living.
He is not impressed with our intelligence or our talents. He doesn't sit in awe of our accomplishments. He longs to see our pride broken so that He can multiply our joy.
Praise the Lord, dear friends, praise God!
