Pin It Now!
Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. Psalm 96:1-3

The psalmist identifies God as the Supreme Existence, who is:

* Great in His nature - in power, intellect, heart.
* Great in His work. "Made the heavens."
* Great in His character.
* Great in His government.

So, we ought to offer Him a supreme service which is:

* Joyous.
* Fresh. "A new song." The song of yesterday will not do for to-day, for there are fresh motives, fresh mercies, fresh needs.
* Constant. Worship as an occasional service is worthless, it is only worship as it becomes an all-pervading spirit, a permeating, dominating inspiration. "From day to day."
* Universal. "All the earth." "Ye kindreds of the people." This service is confined to no tribe or class of men, all sustain the same relation to the Supreme Existence, and out of the same relationship the same common obligations spring.
* Practical. An acknowledgment of God's claims & the proclamation of God's glory to the world.
