Sunday Psalm Sing A New Song
Sunday March 5, 2017
When we are recovering from our addictive lifestyle we often do not feel like singing. Our hearts are heavy and we still feel ashamed about the chaos we left behind. Sometimes we feel like we have never been lighthearted enough to sing. Troubles have followed us since the time we were children and we continue to replay the events of our dysfunctional childhood in our heads. God knows all about our troubles and He cares. He has brought us this far and He will not desert us.
God’s desire is that we bring to, and leave with Him, those things that hinder our life in recovery. He is offering us fullness of life which includes freedom from the bondage of our past. As we give our will and our life over to God’s care we will soon be able to lift up our voices in praise to Him for all He has done. We might even burst into song!
Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. (Psalm 33:1-5 NIV)
Freedom comes from knowing the truth about who God created us to be. We are not children of coincidence or chance. God intentionally and lovingly formed us in our mother’s womb. He planned the time and place of our birth. His intention was that we would seek Him, and perhaps reach out and find Him. Now that we know a little about God, hopefully we will be inspired to know more. When we begin to know Him more intimately, we will shout for joy and praise this God of unfailing love for us. We may even sing to Him a new song!
PRAYER: Gracious Father, Thank you for loving me and bringing me to new life in You. You are a faithful God and my desire is to praise Your glorious name. May the song of my heart bring joy to Your ear. AMEN
