O
sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done
marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the
victory. (Psalm 98:1 KJV)
Behold,
I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will
even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
(Isaiah 43:19 KJV)

In an effort to do something
a bit different this week, I have decided to offer three worship songs to start
this year off worshiping and praising the Lord. Please join me in worshiping the Lord with
Michael W. Smith’s God-given musical gifts.
We know that the Lord
desires our worship—may we worship Him in a worthy manner!

Dei
Please join with me in prayer:
Lord of All Creation, as we begin this year, we turn our hearts and minds
to seek You first and to worship You in sincerity. Nudge us to sing to You in our hearts and
with our mouths; knowing You love to hear our praises, no matter how our voices
sound. As we worship You train our minds
to focus on You and not on what is going on within and around us. Free us from self-consciousness and focus exclusively
on You, and not on what others are doing or may be thinking. Thank You for this fresh start; may we seek
You first and let the other tasks fall into place—with You as our first
priority each and everyday, all other tasks and people will be taken care of as
well. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
From My Heart to Yours,
Kim
Oh, Kim, what a great way to begin the New Year with praises sung to the Lord! You know I have such a special place in my heart for contemporary Christian music after having lead worship with Danny for so many years. I miss it, so, but this was healing for me, my friend. I'll certainly be sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove and blessings!
Martha, I'm glad you found this post healing. And yes, singing praises to the Lord is a great way to start the New Year--actually, it's a great way to start a day! Thank you for sharing!

Hi Kim! I am a big fan of Michael W. Smith, and have several of his CD's. For me, this is a great way to start off the new year, by asking the Lord to open the eyes of my heart. I know I have to start seeing with the eyes of God, and using the grace he gives to reach out. If I see as he sees, I'll always know where to use that grace.
ReplyDeleteI pray that we both have a year that brings us closer to the one we love...the Lord!

Hi Ceil! It's nice to know you're also a fan of Michael W. Smith. I have several tapes of his music--yes tapes--I was a starving college student when I first got into his music (CDs were just coming out at that point). Yes, starting the year with the eyes of heart open (and remaining open) is a great way to start the year! I join you in prayer that we both have a year that brings us closer to the one we love...the Lord!

Kim
