Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.  The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. Psalm 33:3-5 NIV I'm not even allowed to sing in the shower at my house, but in this song, this poem, we are all encouraged to write our own song. Maybe that's a few scribbled words, or something crafted & structured with verses and music The form doesn't matter It's what I know I know God's word is true. It's what I believe I choose to believe that God is good, that He is for me no matter what today's circumstances are saying. I believe that He will unbreak the broken things It's what I see I see His goodness, his grace, his love in the world. It's in creation, it's in people, and some days I need to look really hard, but there are good things, things to be grateful for. If every day this week I wrote down a coup...

Shout to the Lord, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy! Sing your praise to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and melodious song, with trumpets and the sound of the ram's horn. Make a joyful symphony before the Lord , the King! Psalms 98:4-6 NLT Shouting Loud Music !!! exclamation marks everywhere... Praise God OUT LOUD. Yes there is meditation and quiet and reflection...but there's also sing your heart out, play it loud worship...sometimes when we just sing our hearts out something good happens... #summerrain #refreshed #psalms #psalm98 #singanewsong #singitloud

He has remembered his promise to love and be faithful... Psalms 98:3 NLT Sometimes it doesn't feel like God remembers us at all...sometimes our circumstances shout louder and loom larger than anything...even God it seems. But no. We are not forgotten. We are not lost. He is faithful even when we are not. He chose. Chose to make a way when it would have been easier to turn away Chose to give when He didn't have to. Chose to love even tho it cost... Chose to remember. Remember you and me. #summerrain #refreshed #psalms #psalm98 #singanewsong

Sing a new song to the Lord , for he has done wonderful deeds... Psalms 98:1 NLT Have you ever written down how God has worked in your life or in the lives of others? Take some time to record your thoughts on God, his goodness...maybe it will come out as poetry, as a song...or not...but it will be music in God's ear...and it will be a "new song" Regardless of your circumstances today...write down His deeds today... #summerrain #refreshed #psalms #psalm98 #singanewsong

Psalms. This beautiful psalm arrived last night. My prayer is that this expression will encourage you today, & free you to write down your own... I needed saving I needed a way To blink and open fresh eyes To see splendour To know safety in the darkness Always searching for answers Never knowing the question Go far and spread my nets Go and see what bounty I might catch Roam, with weighted soles and frayed ropes It seemed I was waiting forever It seemed I was tethered to one place Didn't know how to move Didn't have the sight Possessed by no reason Suddenly life was more vivid There was one beacon in the fog Couldn't name or define it Couldn't explain the shift Love beyond normal realms Words skated past my awe Words evaded my gratitude Here was the extraordinary answer to the inane questions Here was the gentle warmth of the rising sun Here was my everything I had needed saving Always been searching for answers To feel love at my lowest...
