“Sing to the LORD a new song.”
From Psalm 149, I’ve read it dozens of times, but this morning something anchored me in the adjective “new” – sing a NEW song to the LORD.
A NEW song … how can I do that today?
I don’t have to invent a new song; there’s a song in the air …
Written and sung by millions of people,
The books they write, the films they make – and
The birds and the flowers, the sunshine and the wind.
Watch a young boy skillfully skid his skateboard around the corner …
Watch a young family playing with their children on the beach …
Scan the faces of a crowd at a busy bus stop; say a little prayer for everyone of them …
Listen to a different radio station on your way to work …
Watch someone you love when they don’t know you’re looking …
Stand by your child’s bed when they’re asleep …
Tomorrow in church, look around and in your heart, wish everyone good cheer;
Listen to the music – someone wrote it, someone's playing it.
With your hands, touch the pew, feel the wood, it's strength; sense the shape of it; someone fashioned it.
Everything’s a wonder.
Sing a new song to the LORD!
