September 9: Lamentations 1-2; Obadiah; Revelation 14

Scripture: Revelation 14:2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.
3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No-one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.

Observation: I remember when one of my high school teachers took a few of us to Lindsborg, Kansas where Bethany College, with people from the community, performed Handle’s Messiah. I had never heard such a large choir, with a full orchestra, and special soloists. It was awe inspiring! But what will it be to hear a choir of 144,000 voices, singing their new song before the throne.

Application: I believe the Lord wants a new song from me—a song that only I can sing because I am the only one who has experienced it. It doesn’t have to rhyme; it doesn’t have to have a beautiful melody. It only has to come from my heart. Every day provides something for which to praise Him in a different form.

Prayer: Lord, May my heart be full of fresh praise. Amen.
