August 17, 2016 - A NEW SONG


Day 230 - Psalms Wednesday (chapters 96-98)

“Oh 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 every day.”  (Psalm 96:1-2 ESV) 

“Proclaim the marvelous deeds of God’s salvation to all nations! In our world, too many people see faith in God as a relic of the past with little to say about life today. People turn away from the true God in idolatrous pursuits of money and success; they trust in technology or revel in pleasure. Do we give up? No! First, sing to the Lord. Join with others in worshiping the splendor and majesty of the Creator. Then, speak of His salvation in Jesus day after day, until the resurrected Savior returns to judge all nations in faithfulness.”  (Lutheran Study Bible, Concordia Publishing House, 2009,page 941)

Thank the Lord and sing His praise; 
tell everyone what He has done.
Let all who seek the Lord rejoice 
and proudly bear His name.  
He recalls His promises 
and leads His people forth in joy 
with shouts of thanksgiving.  
Alleluia, alleluia. 

Lord Jesus, I sing Your praise for forgiving my sins and granting me the gift of eternal life. Please bless my efforts to tell others of Your marvelous plan of salvation today. Amen.

Pastor David Paape
