Judges 5:1 On that day Deborah and Barack son of Abinoam sang this song….
Judges 5 is a song about the events of Judges 4. It made me think of young children, who can break out in song, often made-up song about their experiences, at the slightest provocation. It also made me think about what it might be like if, instead of thanking God in spoken prayer, what if I broke out in songs of praise?
Psalm 98:2 Oh sing to the LORD a new song, for He has done marvelous things!…
It definitely brings a smile to my face to imagine what my songs of praise might be. And even though my singing voice is not the best, I know God would appreciate my joyful noise. Even though my songs of praise are in my head, my mental songs definitely bring a childlike sense of appreciation and creativity to my prayer life.
Psalm 40:3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God….
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for this invitation to sing my praise to You. Thank You for recognizing my joyful noise for the praise that it is. Help me to praise You always and in all ways. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 96:1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
