Psalm 96
Many years ago I went to a conference at Arrowhead Springs Hotel in San Bernardino California. Known for its Natural Hot Springs, Native Americans, Early Settlers and Stars of Hollywood’s” Golden Age” were drawn to the healing waters. In 1962 Dr. William Bright, founder of Campus Crusade For Christ, purchased the property as their International Headquarters. After the headquarters moved to Florida the resort underwent development. New homes and condos and a new hotel is planned.
The focus of the conference was, Celebration of a new life in Christ.
The retreat proved to be a life shaping experience for me. Surrounded by Gods beautiful creation, we worshiped, prayed and played. We considered our unique nature in Christ, made possible through his righteousness. We shared our purpose, to glorify God. We learned more about our identity because we are all children of God by faith in Christ. We celebrated our blessings, power, peace faith, hope and love because we all belong to Jesus.
Verse one of Psalm 96 was always my favorite, "Sing to the Lord a new song". That means every day we receive new grace. Every day we can compose a new song of praise, worship, confession and repentance.
Every day we receive blessings from God.
New mercies, new grace every day. Because the Messiah, who is the son of David and the son of God has arrived. Nothing can ever separate us from Him.
Nothing , ever!
Amen
