Imagine the power of music to transcend memory and illuminate the soul. Through a heartfelt personal story about my father’s journey with dementia, I invite you to explore how songs can connect us to our past, offer solace, and ignite joy in our hearts. Join me as we reflect on Revelation chapters 5 and 9 from the New Living Translation, where the triumphant ‘new song’ celebrates Jesus the Lamb. This episode uncovers the profound role music plays not only in our personal lives but also within the tapestry of faith, providing strength and inspiration even in the face of life’s greatest challenges.

Today marks day 29 of our spiritual journey together on Wisdom for the Day, where we delve into the biblical richness of music and praise. Discover the significance of the ‘new song’ in Revelation, a symbol of God's fulfilled plan for salvation and history. As we pray for the words to join in this divine chorus, we find renewed hope in the promise that songs of praise will outlast even our fading memories. Embrace this opportunity to reconnect with the divine and celebrate the resurrection and renewal brought forth by Jesus, empowering us to face each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.762
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.762 --> 00:00:13.673
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.673 --> 00:00:19.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.089
Let's get started.

00:00:21.089 --> 00:00:25.047
Today is day 29.

00:00:25.047 --> 00:00:27.265
Sing, sang, sung.

00:00:27.265 --> 00:00:33.091
Reading from Revelation 5 and 9 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:33.091 --> 00:00:36.268
They sang a new song.

00:00:39.323 --> 00:00:40.387
My dad had dementia.

00:00:40.387 --> 00:00:46.031
His memory had stopped working in any normal way years before.

00:00:46.031 --> 00:00:49.862
By the end my visits got really short.

00:00:49.862 --> 00:00:55.682
He didn't recognize me and he'd forget that I'd been there before I even reached the door to leave.

00:00:55.682 --> 00:01:03.726
But every once in a while I'd start playing some songs that he knew from his younger years and his face would light up.

00:01:03.726 --> 00:01:07.522
On some days he'd even try to sing along.

00:01:09.266 --> 00:01:13.013
Music has a powerful influence in both our minds and our soul.

00:01:13.013 --> 00:01:18.772
It accompanies our celebrations and gives voice to our deepest longings and sorrows.

00:01:18.772 --> 00:01:26.921
Just a few notes can transport us back in time and it reminds us of a special event or a loved one from long ago.

00:01:26.921 --> 00:01:30.548
The Bible is filled with music.

00:01:30.548 --> 00:01:45.168
The Old Testament repeatedly calls us to sing unto the Lord and to praise Him for His wondrous works, and in Revelation, we get to see God's people singing a new song celebrating the completion of his work.

00:01:45.168 --> 00:01:54.941
Jesus the Lamb has triumphed and he is able to open the scroll that represents God's plan for history and for salvation.

00:01:54.941 --> 00:02:02.841
This song is new because it reflects the full scope of Jesus' victory, and now it's made visible.

00:02:04.185 --> 00:02:06.170
The old songs about God's past.

00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:30.520
Goodness can leave a lasting impact on our hearts, but when God's work of renewing creation is complete, it's going to prompt us to sing new songs of praise, songs that will outlast every other memory that fades fades.

00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.364
Pray with me, lord Jesus, you are worthy, you're the living one.

00:02:32.364 --> 00:02:34.347
Your resurrection has brought new life to a dying creation.

00:02:34.347 --> 00:02:35.329
Father, give me words.

00:02:35.329 --> 00:02:47.955
Give me words to join in the chorus of praise to you In your powerful name, amen.
