Sing a New Song

One of the great verses from the text last Sunday in Isaiah 42 was verse 10 seen here:

Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them.

A new song worthy of the LORD is one that includes the voices of all the languages of the world, from all people(s) joining the song that all creation is already singing.

What might this song sound like? My voice in my southern dialect of English would be lost in the sea of other tongues giving praise to God. How Great is Our God. Amazingly, He hears my voice...and yours too when you choose to sing of His greatness for the freedom He brings.

Working Diligently

Sunday night I spoke about faithfulness as having three realms: loyalty, duty, and truth.  The idea behind duty is taking action to fulfill a commitment.

Consider these words from Spurgeon:

"If you would prosper in your work for Jesus, let it be done with all your heart."

Diligent work requires a deep motivation from within to do one's best with all his heart.  

What are you doing with all your heart? As if it is your last assignment before death.

If is worth doing, do it with all your heart.

Decision Making

Make every decision (set your heart) today based on who is in charge of the universe. Live boldly and obedient if you are a child of the King.
