New Year, New Song

Psalm 33:3 "Sing to him a new song..."

The psalmist (possibly the Levitical choir leader) encourages the choir and the people to sing to the Lord a new song.  This psalm was possibly written at a time of transition within the kingdom and it was now time for something new, including a song!

God wants something new from me today.  What I did yesterday was great, but what can I offer today that is new and refreshing?  How can I serve others today in a new way unlike what I did yesterday?  I need to praise God with new eyes, a new voice, and a new song today.  So on my 33rd birthday, in a new year of life, I will sing a new song to the Lord.  Today I will be joyful.  Today I will praise God for the joy in my life and in my family. 

Dear Jesus, thank you that every day you are new to me!  Help me to be joyful in all circumstances.  Amen.
