I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay;
He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD. (Psalm 40:1-3)
God lifts us up and guides us to a safe place – the rock – where we can freely worship Him. The moment we give our lives to Jesus Christ, a new song is put in our mouth to sing – “The Song of the Redeemed”.
Dear Christian, today let us sing our new song. Let the Spirit of the Lord fill us, and enable us to sing a new song unto the Lord. He is lifting us out of the miry clay of disappointment, out of the miry clay of indebtedness, out of the miry clay of frustrations, out of the miry clay of doubt. And He is setting us on the Rock which is higher than ourselves.
As we lift our hands to worship and praise Him, may our song be our confession of faith, hope, joy and power in the Holy Spirit. We have been given a royal pardon, our past is washed away. We have been blessed and set free by His blood. Let us raise our voices and sing, “Bless the Lord, O, my soul” for He has put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
