Key Scripture: Psalm 96:1 (KJV)
O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
Devotional
A new year deserves a new song—not because everything is perfect, but because God is still worthy. Psalm 96:1 invites you to worship with fresh faith, not recycled fear.
A ‘new song’ is often born from survival. From deliverance. From lessons learned. It may be loud celebration or quiet surrender, but it carries the weight of testimony.
When you start the new year in worship, you align your heart with heaven. You declare, “God goes before me,” and you refuse to let anxiety write the first chapter of your next season.
Enter 2026 with praise on your lips and trust in your spirit. God has been faithful—so your song can be new, and your hope can be steady.
