Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful.

Psalm 149:1

I like to sing. I have sung in choirs. I have sung solos. I have been in quartets. Singing lifts the heart and spirit. Singing take you to a higher plane of life.

The psalmist urges us to praise Lord. How do we do that?

Sing to the Lord a new song.

When I was in seminary, I learned in worship class that altar flowers should be fresh, not artificial. "Living flowers for a living Lord." It made sense.

It makes sense that my song should be fresh and new each day, too. "New songs for a God who loves the fresh and new."

It reminds me that God's favorite activity is being creative. God's always up to something new.

We stay young and vital when we remember that about God, and about ourselves.

We're made in God's image. We're made to be creative.

So today, I will sing God's new song.

I will fulfill the purpose for which God made me.

Praise the Lord!
