I must apologise that I’ve been slacking off on my posting. Dropping my consistency game. But it’s a new week! And what better way to start it than reading through more Psalms and delving into His word!
Just something really simple today.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the LORD. (NKJV)
Extremely simple no?
I got two reasons why this verse struck me.
Firstly, when David said a new song was put in his mouth, to bring Praise to God, it’s not that many will hear, instead it’s many will see.
This to me, tells me that singing new songs, praising God, isn’t so much about what the song sounds like that will turn people’s trust to God. Rather it’s the life of the person behind the mouth that will cause people to fear and trust God. That is extremely reassuring to me, simply because I’m reminded again that is not my own skill to create this new song as aurally pleasing as possible, but the life behind it, my life, that is what will be the witness.
And the second reason flows on from that, that yesterday I had some words ministered over me first at my awesome church called FGAP by Rod Christensen, which went on the line that I would bring about a fresh sound, a prophetic sound with words and music. Pretty powerful I must say. Then later in the evening I went to visit my friend’s church in the train station that ministers to the lost and forgotten, the homeless (awesome ministry just by the way), and they had a guest speaker from South Africa who then prayed for me as well after the service and confirmed pretty much word for word what Rod prophesised over me.
And so this verse is like icing on the cake of those two prophecies for me. Reminding me that it’s my life that is most important, as people will see me as a praise witness for God.
