Advent Devotional - Day 21: by Ann Shaffer


READING: Psalm 98:1-3

“O Sing to the Lord a new song for he has done marvelous things;” Psalm 98:1

In this season of Advent, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness to us by sending Jesus to us. It is through Jesus that God has shown his love and faithfulness to us and revealed our salvation. How truly awesome is our God! Every day God is all around us working in magnificent ways. Unfortunately, we get so wrapped up in our day to day living that we fail to see the things that God is doing in our lives.

Jesus taught us that it is not what goes in the mouth but what comes out of the mouth that is important. The things that come out of our mouths are a direct reflection of our hearts. Let us prepare our hearts with love and thanksgiving. We should sing beautiful songs of worship to the Lord for all the good things he has done for us. Let us put the old sinful ways behind us and sing “a new song” of love, devotion and appreciation to our Lord.

Prayer: Lord, please give us the wisdom to see all the wonderful things you are doing in our lives. Thank-you for revealing our salvation and caring for us. Please let our songs of praise glorify you. Help us to share our joy with others so that they might come to know your greatness. Amen
