Song of deliverance!
Verse for Today: Sunday, January 20, 2013
Psalms 40:3 – He put a new
song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put
their trust in the Lord.
Faith in God can transform a crying saint to a
singing sojourner. The wallowing sufferer will then sing hymns and sweet songs
of deliverance and salvation. It is a song of praise to God for all that God
has done for the singer. But it is also a song of praise for all the experience
that he has gone through. Something great has happened in the life of David as
he sang this song because his experience of the pit and the miry clay has shown
him the ways of deliverance of the Lord. We often wait for destination
happiness and forget the process we pass through. But if we focus on the
process, we will be able to see the mighty hands of our Lord in His ministry of
protection, deliverance and restoration. Thus we do not need to wait till we
reach the destination to thank God, but praise Him each step of our way. God’s
ministry of deliverance is motivated by His love and compassion towards us. His
deliverance also shows us the extent of His grace to us. God’s grace starts by
picking us up, washing us with the blood of the Lamb and putting the fragrance
of His Holy Spirit in our souls. Not only that, He dresses us up with the cloth
of His righteousness with which we appear as if we have never even once fallen
in the pit. Thus our new appearance gives us sufficient reasons to sing for God
and praise Him for all that He has done for us and all that He does for us on
each day of our lives. When the onlookers see the drastic change in us from our
former hopeless situation, they will experience the fear of God in their hearts
and will want to put their trust in God. Our new life speaks louder to those
who are in hopelessness that there is hope for them too if they come to the
Lord who is our deliverer.
Dear friend, is there a drop of
tear in your eyes and anguish in your soul because of the various burdens you
are bearing? Today is the day of salvation for your soul because the Lord has
seen your pitiful estate and heard your bitter and agonizing cry. He wants to
straighten out your life and put you on the right track. He will wipe away your
past pain and misery and put on you the attire of a prince or a princess. The
Lord wants to transform your life in such a way that your weeping will be
replaced with singing and dancing for all that has happened in your life. He
wants to turn your hopeless situation into one of eternal hope. Each step you
are helped to take is a matter of praise. Each day in your life becomes a day
of victory and accomplishment towards the next step through the Lord’s mercy
and grace. Your heart thus becomes a spring of praise. Your life of victory
becomes an object lesson for others around you to understand what God can and
will do for them if they trust Him and cry unto Him to transform their lives.
You may not be a musician, but your soul will song a sweet song of salvation to
the Lord for the grace, love and compassion showered upon you. Today the song
in your soul is also a gift to you from Jesus who is the theme of all songs in
heaven. We start singing in this life and will continue to sing along in heaven
the sweet song of the redeemed. He will wipe away all our tears and comfort us
with His own hands just as a mother comforts her baby.
Psalms 33:3 – Sing to Him a
new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
Thought for Today
The amazement of the great deliverance we enjoy produces the spiritual
song of praise in our souls.
