Psalms 98:1 (NASB Strong's)
O sing to the Lord a new song,
For He has done wonderful things,
His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him.
Subject: Victory
Yesterday, in my discussion with a client, I almost claimed success for myself due to my own skill-sets and power. But, then I caught myself. Nothing I have done, EVER, past and present and future, has been accomplished or will be accomplished without the truth of the above verse. God has done wonderful things in my life. His right hand (where Christ sits) have gained the victory. We are all too quick to claim success based upon our own opinion of ourselves. Remember the story of Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel had warned him about his pride. Never-the-less he erected a statue of himself and thought it great to play as though he were God. Instead he because a mad-man and was found eating grass, like a cow, in the field. The writer of this Psalm wants to remind us that "victory" is from God and is due to His work in our lives and His intervention in our lives. Let's sing a new song, not based upon what we think are our accomplishments, but rather based upon what He has done for us.
