“Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise from the end of the earth” (Isaiah 42:10).

Did you know that the book of Isaiah is like a miniature Bible? It contains sixty-six chapters just as the Bible contains sixty-six books. The first thirty-nine chapters of Isaiah contain the commandments of God and His judgments upon disobedience. The second half of the book of Isaiah, those twenty-seven chapters, present the coming Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ in His glorious work. This corresponds with the twenty-seven books of the New Testament. No wonder Isaiah commands the people to, “Sing unto the Lord a new song.” Singing to the Lord is one of the ways that we worship Him. We acknowledge His greatness, and we come before Him with a song upon our hearts. Even if we are not trained musicians, we can still sing to the Lord. Think of some of those wonderful hymns that are rich in doctrine. Think of some of the beautiful worship choruses today that are rich in magnifying our glorious Savior. Include a few moments in your regular time of prayer to simply sing to the Lord a new song.

For today: I’m never going to do special music in a church service, but I will still sing to the privately Lord today. How about you?
