READ: LUKE
7:11-15
How best
can we spend this day than singing songs of praise unto God for His mercies?
Today, I feel like singing a new song. I feel like erupting into rapturous
singing. You may wonder why you must sing when you seem not have witnessed the
total fulfillment of your dreams. You have lots of reasons to sing a new song
unto the Lord. God has brought you this far. The future is in His hand. You
will sing a new song when God opens your eyes spiritually. When you receive the
touch of Holy Spirit, you will sing a new song. The Lord will turn your
captivity so that you will have a new song. Psalm 126:1-2 says: “When
the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then
our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing.” When
the children got to the Red Sea (here was no way forward. When they saw Pharaoh
and his soldiers behind them, they became dejected and queried Moses. However,
the Almighty God who had decided to have mercy on them showed up and divided
the Red Sea for them to pass. He destroyed their enemies. By the next morning,
they had a new song (Exodus 15). When David escaped from Saul and all his
enemies, a new song came into his mouth, as recorded in Psalm 48. When God
decides to have mercy on you, a new song will come into your mouth. Even in
heaven, we shall sing new songs (Revelation 7:9-10; 11-12). There, we shall
sing songs of ultimate victory. Do not worry about all the problems associated
with the past. A new day is at the door. This day is pregnant with spiritual
and material blessings for you. However, you must not forget to learn from your
past mistakes. Jesus is the only One you can trust. When there is crisis in
your life, you should not look unto anyone other than the Lord Jesus Christ. He
is the only One who can stand by you as you face the challenges of today.
MEMORIZE:
PSALM48:1 –Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God,
in His holy mountain.
