A Song Worth Singing

Scripture:

Psalm 30:1, 12
I will praise You, LORD, for you have rescued me.
You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.
O, LORD my God, I will give You thanks forever!

Observation:

What an honor it is to be able to sing this song. What an incredible blessing it is to know that the victory is yours and that no matter how this fallen world may try to deceive and discourage you, the children of God have a glorious future ahead of them—One so glorious that our Creator, who loved His creation so much, put a plan into place that would keep the people who put their trust in Him out of the grips of eternal death and damnation (Jeremiah 29:11). We have in our LORD, a loving and gracious Savior; a faithful Shepherd who never gets tired of calling out to His lost ones. And once His call has been heard, the promise is this: If we return to Him, He will return to us (Zechariah 1:3). And this, my dear friends, is a promise that we can count on no matter how far we have gone astray.

Application:

As far as my own life is concerned, the Enemy came so close in completely taking my eternal life, which would have, forever, separated me from the Glory of God. What an amazing joy it brings me just knowing that all of my sins have been truly forgiven and forever forgotten by our Loving and Gracious and Merciful God (Isaiah 43: 25). This inner joy, which forever fills the heart, is what makes Christians everywhere stand apart from the rest of the world, because there is no doubt, whatsoever, that we, too, just as our Lord Christ Jesus, will be given a glorious new body that is void of death and decay, and pain and suffering. Our everlasting new life will be without shame or guilt. It will be abundantly happy, void of sadness and without the tears of frustration and grief. It will be an eternal life of seeing God face to face and walking hand in hand with our Savior. There is nothing of this world, my friends, which has the ability to fulfill this kind of joy. It is only through the Word of God and His Amazing Grace that we can find the Joy that gives us Everlasting Life in Him!

Prayer:

Thank You dear Lord, for this song of joy we can now sing—a glorious song that sings about Your gift of salvation that we do not deserve—a gift that was so dearly paid for by Your blood and sacrifice. Thank You for going to the Cross and giving us the peace and hope we do not deserve. You are so amazing and gracious, LORD God, and I will forever sing praises to Your Name.
