Psalm 96:1–5
[1] Oh sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth!

tell of his salvation from day to day.
[3] Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!

he is to be feared above all gods.

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens. (v4-5)
- Reflect: Is there a new song in my heart, or has my affection for God grown familiar, routine, or cold?
- Ask: Ask God to awaken fresh love, joy, and wonder in your heart toward Him.
- Practice: Before continuing in prayer, consider pausing to sing a song of worship—letting even an old song become new in your heart.

- Reflect: Am I quick to speak about God’s saving work in my life? Do I look for—or avoid—opportunities to talk about what the Lord has done?
- Ask: Ask God to help you recognize and courageously step into opportunities to share His work in your story.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens. (v4-5)
- Reflect: Think of someone you know who is not following Jesus. What are they trusting in for hope, identity, or security? What has taken the place of God in their heart?
- Ask: These things cannot ultimately satisfy and will always fall short. Ask God to lovingly reveal Himself to this person, that they would see Him as more worthy of worship than anything else competing for their devotion.
