#Sing
On this 16th day of Advent, the word sing' follows on well from yesterday's word 'rejoice'.
I wonder what this robin is singing? What message are other robins receiving?
The word 'sing' reminds me of one of my favourite Psalms in the Bible. The Psalms are a collection of ancient songs, used in Jewish and Christian worship.
Psalm 96 is a song in praise to God who comes in judgement and mercy. It's opening words are these:
"O sing to the Lord a new song:
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvellous works among all the peoples.
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be revered above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
Honour and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary."
Psalm 96: 1 - 6 (NRSV)
