Praise the name of the Lord our Protector! Father, You protected Your children of Israel through so many years of their history and I believe even now. Those who bless them, You bless Those who curse them, You curse.
Jesus came to change the curses to blessing and we bless You for that. He even blesses those who curse Him. He blesses with rain, sunshine, vistas of Your Creation and of salvation for their souls.
He died so that He could "collect" souls for You! Living souls. He heaps coals of fire upon them emotionally and spiritually with His goodness, kindness, mercy and love. Praise the Lord. They become a 'new creation' when they accept Jesus as Savior through faith; thereby storing up 'treasure in Heaven' for You.
Now we all Who come to You through Jesus can sing a new song. You have put a new song into our minds, hearts, and mouths. Those new songs of "Hallelujah" can be sung right out through sanctified lips that may even had spewed forth curses or foul language.
Let one and all be glad in their Savior. Let us sing and be glad through our 'vocal' instruments, guitars, cajons, homemade shakers; whatever, wherever. Humbly we sing and bow at Your feet in adoration, praise and thanksgiving.
You have protected us against the wiles of the devil; thwarted his collection of our souls to eternal damnation. Oh Father God! Thank-You!! We exult in Your glory through our Savior, Jesus. We even sing Your praises of joy upon our beds of insomnia or as "lullabys" en route to Slumberland, sometimes making the songs up as we go. The "praise-of-the-day" song of how your protection shielded us; of how we have learned something more about You, the work of Your hands or of some guidance and direction You gave us that day.
Bind up the "kings", "nobles"; that is, the demons, actually, of Satan -- those spiritual forces that would hinder our growth in Jesus. Bind up all those evil forces, execute Your judgement upon them and send them to wherever Jesus tells them to go.
This is the priviledge and honor Your godly ones, in Jesus, have. Jesus, the name that is "love" upon our lips. Jesus, the New Song in our hearts. It is an honor, privilege and responsibilty to be in Your family, Father God, through Your Son Jesus.
This Lord's Day, we remember Jesus in His death; rejoice in Him, sing praises to Him, give our heartfelt thanks to Him. All of these, as we pass the broken bread one to another, partaking of it. All of these too, as we then give thanks and drink from the cup of wine together with others of Your children.
Praise the Lord! Thank-You, Jesus! You are our "New Song". In Jesus, name we praise.
