Sing to the Lord a New Song

Have you noticed that the Psalmist never calls upon the people to give to God an old song, or a well known song, or your favorite song? It's always a new song.

What's up with a new song?

Here's the thing.

The reason why God wants us to sing a new song is because praises are always contextual. We never sing a song of praise to God in a vacuum. Every song of praise is to have with it a story and a reason for that praise. And the reason is because God is always doing something new.

And because God is always at work in our lives, yesterday's song, or last week's song, or last year's song just won't do. Because of all the ways God is at work in our lives, we are to give to God a new song each and everyday.

Our God is awesomely cool like that!!!

So what song are you singing today?
