Reflection: In order to sing a new song to the LORD, the author reflected everyday on how the LORD intervenes in the world and delivers us. He has never stopped His work, so shall we. How does God work in our lives? What danger does God save you from? Instead of worrying about the future danger, let us thank God for what danger He has saved us from.
