Nov 4th midnight
Psalm 96
"Sing to the Lord a new song."
One we haven't sung before
because there are new experiences,
new heartaches, new troubles we haven't known before.
Our song is new....it's different.
But we will sing it.
God is doing things we've never seen Him do before.
It makes us walk in deeper faith and trust.
We cling to Him
because everything
we've ever thought of as strength in our lives
has crumbled in our hands.
We were heading strong towards a mark
and precious things were crushed and stolen
from those You entrusted us with.
So our song is now a little more humble,
a little more contrite and dependent on God.
Our need is so much greater,
our cry is more desperate.
There is no more of our own strength.
"Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come into His courts."
I'm remembering the glory that is due the Lord tonight
and laying down a precious offering.
A costly offering,
but I know He will consume it
with great mercy and grace.
I'm laying this precious thing,
this pearl, down on Your altar.
I offer this to You for Your will and purpose.
Breathe new life in and cast all that is evil out.
Your mercies are new every morning.
Great is Your faithfulness, Oh Lord.
Some morning I want to wake
to a new song
of victory
over what was restored
and given back ten fold.
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:1-3
For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. Zeph 3:17
I'll wait for You.
