Psalm 98:1-9
Psalm 98:1-9
One of my seminary professors had been a missionary in Africa for many years. He told us one day that when he arrived on the field, he was on the boat that was going up the river. He could hear screaming and the sound of drums and wailing, but 25 years later when he went up the river to leave the field, people were lining the river and they were singing, “All hail the power of Jesus name, let angels prostrate fall.” What a difference. The Christian faith is a singing faith. Christians ought to be a singing people. We are admonished in the Word of God to sing to the Lord. Psalm 98 verse 1, “O sing unto the LORD a new song; for He has done marvelous things: His right hand, and His holy arm, have gotten Him the victory.” Let’s sing a new song today.
Let’s sing about His victory. That’s what He tells us in Psalm 98 verse 1. “His right hand, His holy arm, have gotten Him the victory.” Just sing about the victories of the Lord. “Oh,” you say, “there’s not much victory in my life!” That’s alright. Just start singing about the victory of the Lord and you’d be surprised what He’ll do for you. Let’s sing about His salvation. Verse 2, “The LORD has made known His salvation: His righteousness has He openly shown in the sight of the nations.” It would be a good thing for us to help to get that message of salvation out to other people today. Let’s sing about His salvation. That would be a new song because there’s always something new to learn about His salvation. Let’s sing about His mercy and truth. Verse 3, “He has remembered His mercy and His truth.” Oh how merciful the Lord has been to us and His truth endures to all generations.
Let’s sing about His coming. Verse 9, “The hills are rejoicing before the LORD for He comes. He comes to judge the earth; with righteousness shall He judge the world, and the peoples with equity.” Let’s sing about His coming. Jesus may come back today. I’ve noticed in my own life that when I lose my song, it usually means I have lost something else. I’ve lost my vision of God or my faith in His Word or perhaps sin has come into my life. If you don’t have a song today, get one. And if you need to get one, start with Psalm 98, “O sing unto the LORD a new song.”
