The Lord God has been faithful to His covenant love and kept His promises: he has won the victory over all his enemies and ours; his salvation has been clearly seen by all people everywhere; all unbelievers have seen his righteousness; his mercy and truth to his people has been remembered and fulfilled.
Therefore, this Victorious God and Warrior King will be praised with joyful noise as loudly and raucously as earth and its inhabitants can make it. Now this Very God who won the victory is coming to judge and rule over the earth and the people He conquered; and He will do it right: He will set right everything that went wrong.
This victorious king has come into our lives and taken over: everything wrong is now right; everything crooked is now straight; everything dead is now alive; everything rebellious is now subdued to worship. Jesus is Lord. The kingdom has come: repent and believe the Gospel.
True worship, heartfelt thanks and genuine praise comes from, and can only come from, a heart that believes the Gospel. Faith that receives grace and forgiveness responds with praise, and it can’t be imitated. Sing a new song for it’s a new day with new mercies and fresh joy.
