David has instructed us to the sing a new song to the Lord, so we obey, we sing, we make singing to God part of our life. We believe that it glorifies God when we sing to him. We believe that when we sing we show our love for God, we demonstrate our spirituality, our religiosity, our commitment. We sing because we are charismatic, we are spirit-filled.
But David gave the reason for the singing, and that is sing a new song for God has done marvelous things; or great things, or wonderful things, or extraordinary things. Our singing is driven by seeing God's marvelous things. Without the seeing, we can't sign the way David wants us to sing. We sing because God has done marvelous thing in our life. Do we see God's marvelous work in our life? We need to see because it is an important pre-condition to singing. Yes, we do have the God-given ability to see. Through the gift of faith, we see that God has provided for all our needs, for example. To make it more concrete and real, we have seen God's marvelous work when Jojoy got his working permit in the most unexpected manner, when Patrick and Anne got new jobs back at the right time, when Sonny got a renewal of his job, when Moonyeen and I got special arrangement to visit and care for our ageing parents; and John and Princess are blessed with wonderful boys. Even is difficult and challenging times, we have seen His protection, provision and guidance. If we go deeper, we can also see God's mercy. He did not only forgive our sins but also healed our soul and renewed our spirit, allowing us to take part in His work through CFC. In our community we often hear stories of repentance, conversion and transformation, These are the marvelous works of God happening in our own community. One must see the marvelous works of God. This is vital when we sing a new song to God as David calls us. Praised be to God. Amen Comments are closed.
