Scripture: Psalm 98:1-3 - 1 Sing a new song to the Lord, for He has performed wonders; His right hand and holy arm have won Him victory. 2 The Lord has made His victory known; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations. 3 He has remembered His love and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen our God’s victory.
Reflection:
Psalm 98 celebrates God's victory and calls us to rejoice in His wonderful deeds. "Sing a new song to the Lord, for He has performed wonders; His right hand and holy arm have won Him victory" (Psalm 98:1). This psalm reminds us that God is not only our Creator and Sovereign King but also our Victorious King.
The psalmist highlights God's faithfulness and love, declaring, "He has remembered His love and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen our God's victory" (Psalm 98:3). God's victory is not limited to a specific group or nation but is visible to all the earth.
In times when we feel defeated or overwhelmed, we can find hope and strength in the knowledge that God has already won the ultimate victory through Jesus Christ. His resurrection is the greatest demonstration of His power and love, offering us eternal life and triumph over sin and death.
