What Song Are You Singing?

Psalm 98:1a
Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things;

A psalm about celebration is one to uplift the spirit. In this case it's not just about uplifting one's own spirit but about giving praise to the Lord. If you are reading this message, then there's two reasons to celebrate. Reason #1 you are alive and reason #2 you can see. We can start our morning with a grateful spirit or with a complaining spirit. The first two reasons are marvelous in themselves so what reasons to celebrate!  Not everyone that went to sleep last night woke up this morning. And not everyone that woke up has sight. If you are breathing, you still have purpose that you have not yet reached. And if you have, you haven't done it enough yet. But are you singing a song of celebration? Are you singing a song of woe is me? The psalmist makes a call or declaration for us to sing a new song. Whatever song we've been singing, if it's not one of celebration to the Lord, then sooner or later it sounds like a broken record even to Him. Appreciate Him for the things He doesn't have to do for you but does anyway out of love. Appreciate that just when you need a hug or word of encouragement, it arrives. That's the Lord showing His love and that's marvelous!! What song are you singing?
