A New Song

Read: Psalm 33:1-5

Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song. —Psalm 33:2-3

Bible In One Year: Psalms 107-109; 1 Corinthians 4

---

I was walking in the park one morning, listening to a tape by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. I had my ancient Walkman clipped to my belt and my headphones clamped over my ears, tuned in to another world. The music was joyous! Oblivious to my surroundings, I began to sing and dance.

Then I spied my neighbor, leaning against a tree with a bemused look on her face. She couldn't hear my music, but she was delighted by my behavior. I wish she could have heard my song.

I thought afterward of the new song God has placed in our hearts, a song we hear from another world. It tells us that God loves us and always will, and that He has "delivered us from the power of darkness" (Colossians 1:13) and "made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:6). And someday He'll take us to be with Him forever.

In the meantime He has given us eternally useful things to do. Grace now and glory ahead! Is this not a reason to sing?

Next time you're down in the dumps, think about God's goodness. Tune in to the music of heaven and sing a new song with the angels. It may set your feet to dancing and cause great wonderment in those around you. Perhaps they'll want to hear the music too. —David Roper

I'll sing with the ransomed a new song on high,
And all because Jesus my Savior is nigh;
The earth with its heartaches is all of the past,
For now I am home with my Savior at last. —Johnson

God's work in our life puts a new song in our heart.

I’m Ready! I’m ready for the party now, I’m all dressed up and pretty. I heard it was a special place, Is it somewhere in the city? This is my favorite party dress. I love this pretty flower. How come no one has got here yet? I have to wait an hour? NicknamedBob . . . August 7, 2004	Forgive Us Sorry we were tardy, And you had to wait. We're here now and happy, Just a little late. Yes your dress is lovely, Pretty flowers too! I'm sure glad we got here, To spend time with you. Conspiracy Guy aka DIF 8/21/2004

[NicknamedBob]

Cool, a duet!!

CG, I think some of your best work involves collaborations.
Right, LE?

[JustAmy]

Hi Bob.

The two poems look cute together, don't they?

I'm glad that CG reguested it. I wasn't sure that I remembered how to make a table. But it worked!!!!

[NicknamedBob]

CG is just trying to get friendly with me because I know where to get some cheap beer.

[JustAmy]

LOL

You think if I raised his pay to a case of beer per month, he'd write me another cute poem?


Hmmm .... then I'd also have to give you a raise. Let me think about that; I'm not sure we can afford that much of a salary increase. :)

[NicknamedBob]

I think for that kind of pay, we'd do a song and dance routine...

[JustAmy]

LOL

Just as I suspected ... too much of an increase.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Oh, a wise guy!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Perfect!

[Conspiracy Guy]

You can be Cher, I'll be Sonny. Just for the singing of course!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Looked perfect.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I am never friendly. I am one hostile dude!

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'm only getting 1 penny for every two poems. You are overpaying NnB

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Jen! I haven't been around much either. Life is so enjoyable out there, and summer is so short. :-)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. The best is yet to come…

[The Mayor]

Hi Victoria

[NicknamedBob]

"I'm only getting 1 penny for every two poems. You are overpaying NnB."

I make up for low pay by producing in volume.

Lots of volume.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Pippin.

I've been playing with graphics again this afternoon.

I get involved and the day slips away. :)

[Laura Earl]

Perfect!! I loved NNB & Billie's to start with, & CG has made it wonderful. Now we are headed out to the deck for adult libation and our boombox with all the cool tunes of our youth. We are doing ELO now.
