"My God, I will sing you a brand-new song!" "The harp inside my heart will make music to You!" Psalms 144:9 In this psalm David is giving God the praise for His mercy and power upon the lives of His people. He sings a new song to the Lord expressing God's greatness and for experiencing God's help in a new way, he is grateful for this fresh understanding of the wonderful character of God and for his new beginning.
Following every deliverance in your life it will prompt a new level of praise and commitment to God. Trials produce and cultivate worship, in those troubling moments we all seek Him more. David in this psalm has a song of victory in his heart, thanking God for being his true hero and for the promise of blessings. The song starts out so powerful, it says; "There is only one strong safe, and secure place in all the world for me; it's in God alone and I love Him! He is the one who gives me strength and skill for every battle. He's my shelter of love and my fortress of faith, my shield and You are the one I hide myself in, the one who subdues my enemies." He continues the song with a question of why does God even notice and bothers to put up with us, for we are nothing more than a passing shadow.
In the middle of the song he prays to God to intervene and deal with the enemy. This psalm is about wrestling with a crisis, and renewing the courage of the people to push forward to better days. Don't hang up your harp or give up your praise because of your situation. (Psalms 137:2) I encourage you today for every crisis you may be facing right now, to put a praise on it, let the harp in side your heart begin to make music to the Lord on behalf of your circumstance. Let the strings of your heart pluck out a melody that will bring you and your crisis into Harmony with God. In the middle of it re-new your praise accompanied by the harp of your heart. The music of your heart will provoke God to reach down from heaven to free you, restore and refresh you!
