Sing a New Song - Part 1

Today in my quiet time I was challenged to not let prayer become routine but rather to “sing a new song.”  From there I began to look at various scriptures with the phrase, “sing a new song.”  Over the next few days I will be posting my thoughts on some of these passages.  I hope as you read my thoughts God will lead you to think about how you can “sing a new song” as well.



Psalm 33:1-3

“Good people, cheer God!  Right-living people sound best when praising.  Use guitars to reinforce your Hallelujahs!  Play his praise on a grand piano!  Invent your own new song to him; give him a trumpet fanfare.” (MSG)

These verses mention different instruments to use as we praise God, but verse 3 says to “invent your own new song to him; give him a trumpet fanfare.”

Maybe today I will try praising him with my singing voice (now I can promise you I’ll be alone when I do that).  Then instead of just "Amen" at the end I will close with my rendition of The Hallelujah Chorus!  

The point I believe is to praise Him in a new way.  My prayer is that our "new song" will be pleasing to Him and perhaps even make God smile.
