Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. ?Psalm 98:4
At age 94, Pastor Willis was admitted into a care facility. From his wheelchair, he shared with joy how God had given him a new mission field to share the gospel. When he was bedridden a few years later, he spoke with enthusiasm of being in the best possible position to look up to God. When he died at age 100, Pastor Willis left behind a legacy of one who sang a new song of praise at every turn of his earthly life.
Psalm 98 exhorts us to sing a new song for God who ?has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory? (v.1). We ought to praise Him ?even in times of difficulty?for God remembers ?His mercy and His faithfulness? (v.3). Though this psalm is about God freeing the Israelites from slavery, it is prophetically also about our salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. And as we remember what God has done for us, we can trust Him to help us with today?s difficulties as well as tomorrow?s uncertainties.
The psalmist wrote: ?Let the sea roar, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell in it; . . . let the hills be joyful together before the Lord? (vv.7-9). Let us join God?s creation in singing praise to our Savior! ? Albert Lee
I don?t know about tomorrow,
Nor what coming days will bring;
But I know my Lord is with me,
And His praise my heart will sing. ?Fitzhugh
A heart in tune with God sings melodies of praise.
