A New Song

Have you lost your song? Do you long to enter into worship and soar above your circumstances? Do you feel overwhelmed and exhausted by life the last thing you want to do is sing songs of praise?

Paul and Silas were cruelly beaten and imprisoned. But the Scriptures say,"about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them." (Acts 16:25).

When you chose to worship in your midnight hour, God will bring about a great deliverance - not only for you - but those who are listening.

It says, "Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone's chains came loose" (verse 16).

Not only was there a powerful encounter where all the prisoner's chains were broken but the jailer and his family was saved. The church of Philippi was born. Out of a song of worship from broken men, prisoners became parishioners and a jailer a spiritual leader!

You may say, I can't keep a tune or don't know any lyrics to sing. But God will give you the song. He will put the music in your heart to sing. By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me-- a prayer to the God of my life.(Psalms 42:8, NIV).

Sing, beloved, sing!

And the inner prison in your mind where you may be bound by fear, worry, or anxiety will shake and the chains that bind you will be shattered. When you are free to sing, others will sing with you. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him (Psalms 40:3, NIV).
