Psalm 96

Sing a new song to the LORD! Praise his name! Proclaim God's salvation, day by day. Tell the nations of his glory!

Psalm 96 is part of a collection of songs of praise to the God who rules the nations. The psalm proclaims that the LORD is to be praised above "all the gods of the peoples" for these are, in comparison, idols, "but the LORD made the heavens. The psalm looks forward to the judgment of the Lord over all peoples of the earth, and the psalm proclaims the LORD "will judge the world with righteousness" and "the peoples with equity."

Can we sing "a new song" to the LORD each day? Can we proclaim God's salvation and tell others of the glory of the LORD? Christian faith sees each day as Easter. Life comes from death, love overcomes hate, the end is the beginning.

Grace and peace...Bob
