My daughter has a litany that goes something like this. "Mom. Mom. Mom. Mama!" For some reason she thinks I have poor hearing. After a long day of this, I sometimes beg her to stop calling me Mom or Mama. "Call me something new. Call me anything, how about Ralph?"
My son is only a year old. The first few months were really rough with all-day crying due to colic and poor sleep at night. And to top it off, he hated car rides. He'd scream from the moment he went into his car seat to the moment he came out, even if there was an hour in between. All of us would get sick of hearing it. Shannon would say "Colby, find something new to say." Or Camille would say "Colby, sing a new song, we've heard this one already!"
Today I was reading in Psalms 149. The words hit me like a ton of bricks "Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song..." (Ps 149:1)
Do you suppose God gets tired of hearing my litany?
"God, help me through this day."
"God, help our finances."
"God, make Colby sleep tonight."
Praise the Lord. Sing to him a new song. Today I will look for ways to sing a new song. And I will praise him!
