What new thing are you doing???

TOPIC: A Call To Action

SCRIPTURE: "O sing to the LORD a new song..." (Ps.98:1a)

OBSERVATION: The theme of this psalm is a song of joy and victory. Because God is victorious over all and all those who follow Him will be victorious with Him

APPLICATION: As I was reading today I couldn't help but use this verse for my blog. Because as I was driving into work this morning, I heard a new song on the radio that so impacted me, that I took a quote from the song and placed it on the wall in my office.

When I heard this new song "God of This City" by Chris Tomlin I couldn't help but think about a quote I heard from John Maxwell.

I once heard John Maxwell say, that as a young leader he wanted to make a difference, but he soon discovered that not everyone wanted to make a difference. So he added this to his statement, 'I want to make a difference with people who want to make a difference'. As he got older he continued to add to this statement. At 60 his statement is...
"I want to make a difference with people who want to make a difference doing something that will make a difference in the time that will make the most difference."

If you want to make a difference
if you want to do something new
then keep reading

Here's a sample of the lyrics of the new song that I heard this morning

You're the God of this city
You're the King of this people
You're the Lord of this nation
You Are
You're the light in this darkness
You're the hope to the hopeless
You're the peace to the restless
You Are
There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
For greater things have
yet to come
And greater things are
still to be done
in this city

If you want to make a difference
if you want to do something new
then push play
and get ready
to be moved to action!



A great quote that I recently came across says, "To reach people no one else is reaching we must do things no one else is doing."

What new thing are you going to do?

If you're ready to do something for God, but don't know where to start, let me know. I'd love to help you begin the process!

PRAYER: Father God, help me to live each day to the fullest . Help me to keep dreaming BIG and doing new things and not give up until it is accomplished for your honor and glory.
