Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today
“Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise from the end of the earth!”
NL Daily Devotion for Tuesday, November 19, 2019
by Dr. Kimberly Leetch, Clergy Stuff
God is on the move! While in exile, the Israelites wondered if God had abandoned them. But Isaiah proclaimed the promise – God is gearing up for a big move. God is preparing to defeat their captors and deliver them (again!) to their homes, their families, and their faith.
The obvious response is joy – song that can be heard from the desert to the mountains to the seas. Song that the sea itself roars with elation – give glory to the Lord!
Perhaps you are in a state of exile yourself. If so, hear the promise that God is gearing up for a big move. Isolation and desperation will not last forever. Cling to the hope that God’s promise brings.
Perhaps you are in a state of restoration. Sing from the mountaintops! Spread your joy so that the whole world – from your family to your sphere of influence to your Instagram – sings with you.
Sing a new song! Sing loudly. But sing and sing full of joy!
