Green Growth Even Surrounded by Snow,
If this sapling can, so can we!
Psalm 98:1
O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvellous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gained him victory.
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.
Words of Grace For Today
When we recognize how great God’s deeds are for us and all other people, there is nothing else to do, than to sing songs to God.
When we recognize for the million-times-millionth time how gracious God is to us, though we certainly do not deserve any of it, the old songs simply will not do. God will give us new songs to sing so that we can tell once again the old, old story of Jesus and his love.
We have so many new songs, a million-times-million, … and today we have yet another new reason to sing!
What is your new song today? Is it like the twins studying their dreams, or Maggie’s parent’s enjoying their dream home?
Or is yours, like mine, a simple song of surviving another day: dreaming as I breathe, eat, drink, rest, work and love enough to make a life abundant, as God walks with me, even though I am too old to study and I am homeless and attacked by relentless enemies who are afraid of truth, for they have built their lives on their lies about me?
It is never too late, as long as you are breathing, to sing a new song in thanks for God’s grace and mercy!
