Sing

Psalm 96:1–3 (NRSV): “O sing to the Lord a new song; 

sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.”

There are three imperatives here: we are to praise, proclaim, and declare. We praise him, we proclaim his salvation (how he has delivered us), and we tell it.the thing about it is that it is a new song everyday. There is something different everyday. God is moving everyday. and if we miss it- we miss the opportunity of growing in him. 

God has given each of a reason to sing to him and it is new everyday- because his mercies to us are new everyday. That passage starts with ‘Oh’, and that ‘oh’ comes from a place of great depth- a place of knowing. That place of knowing that you know, that you know, that you know. And nobody can take that away from you. 

Sing! Go ahead- sing a new song. It’s your song! It’s your story wrapped up in God’s story. Won’t he do it? Yeees! Yeeess! Yes he will. enough for now.
