NEW SONGS OF PRAISE WORD Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord ; it is fitting for the pure to praise him. Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp. Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy. For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does. He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. - Psalm 33:1–5 THOUGHT People love music! It can change the mood of one individual or an arena of thousands. Music comes in a myriad of styles and forms, but its zenith experience is in worship to God. God created music and humanity with the intent of both to glorify him. When we worship God through music, we in turn experience the mystery of internal fulfillment through rhythm, lyric, and melody. Martin Luther wrote: “Music is a fair gift of God, and near allied to divinity.” For those who have discovered genuine life in relationship with Christ, the first verses of Psalm 33 call us to joyfully exalt him with multiple instruments in a new song of praise. We praise him because he alone is worthy of worship because his truth is flawless forever. His decisions are perfect, trustworthy, fair, and just. His love is absent of prejudice, darkness, and selfishness. It never fails. He alone offers relief and fulfillment to the human soul. Let the redeemed sing joyfully, confidently, and often! PRAYER - Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. Be exalted, oh God, with the melody of a heart set free to worship you. My source of hope, joy, and the Lord of my life, you are my song! Amen.
