The psalmist encourages creativity, celebration, exaltation, dance, and great instrumental music… all of it because God delights in his people. Everybody that sincerely loves the Lord can join the celebration. Oppressors and abusers will finally be judged and punished and people who love God will be honored. Praise, gratitude and hope for the future fills your heart while you worship Him.
Hallelujah!
Sing to God a brand-new song,
praise him in the company of all who love him.
Let all Israel celebrate their Sovereign Creator,
Zion’s children exult in their King.
Let them praise his name in dance;
strike up the band and make great music!
And why? Because God delights in his people,
festoons plain folk with salvation garlands!
Let true lovers break out in praise,
sing out from wherever they’re sitting,
Shout the high praises of God,
brandish their swords in the wild sword-dance—
A portent of vengeance on the God-defying nations,
a signal that punishment’s coming,
Their kings chained and hauled off to jail,
their leaders behind bars for good,
The judgment on them carried out to the letter
—and all who love God in the seat of honor!
Hallelujah!
(Psalm 149 MSG)
Prayer: Let creativity flourish. Let me sing, dance and play music to honor You. My heart is filled with gratitude, praise and hope for the future. I worship You and You alone. You deserve it and I love You.
