Psalm
96:1, “O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew
forth his salvation from day to day. Declare
his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. For the LORD is great, and greatly to be
praised: he is to be feared above all gods.”
Psalm18:3, “I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so
shall I be saved from mine enemies…vs. 6, “In my distress I called upon the
LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry
came before him, even into his ears.”
Are
you catching on to the thought that I am emphasizing? IF the past few days haven’t been the most
joyful and stress free, try blessing the LORD by singing “new song” i.e. a song
of praise unto Him. You are probably thinking that you do not feel like singing
or praising God at this time. I suggest
that you do it anyway. What could it hurt?
Perhaps you will find that obeying God’s Word will be a help to your
stressed condition.
You
might even try telling someone who you work with who is not a Christian
something God has done for you in the past.
Something such as “I thank God that he has given me a wonderful wife or
I have been so blessed to grow up in such a wonderful family.” Surely you can think of something good that
the Lord has done for you. As the little
chorus I once heard says, “It’s amazing what praising can do.”
