SCRIPTURE
Oh, sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous deeds! His right hand and His holy arm have accomplished deliverance (Psalm 98:1 MEV).
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
There is something about singing that pushes the dark clouds away. Song and music have a unique ability to make a person feel better about their circumstances or about life in general. We see with the psalmist David how he would often depict the struggles of his life in the Book of Psalms. We have to, however, remind ourselves that those were songs from his heart. Perhaps when he wrote about those struggles and prayers to God it would help him feel a sense of assurance when he sang those words as opposed to just saying them. The point is that song can dispel feelings of defeat. Music can add joy to a room and change the atmosphere. Song can carry with it a delivering power. Declare that your heart will be full of song, so when you’re facing a challenge your tendency will be to hum a tune or sing to the Lord. Song is a weapon of victory, so never allow the enemy to steal the song in your heart!
