[S] Revelation 5:9 --
9And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
[O] The new song is sung by a new community of people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. Not only would this be a combination of different spoken languages, but it will also be the unity of all nations. This new song isn't simply a different generation's tunes but it's really about the new level of praising God for what He's done for all people from all nations without any discrimination. Just like how Jesus told His disciples in John 4:32,34, how He has food to eat that they know nothing about which is to to do the will of God, this new song may be a totally new paradigm of singing His song for what He has done for us. This new song is a vision for our church where literally people from many nations are gathering and with our different tongues we will sing this new song of His wonderful salvation for us all.
[A] As I look forward to the year 2011 for our small group ministry, I will seek this vision of singing a new song to our Heavenly Father because He is totally worthy for slaying His own Son to purchase us from all nations. It's going to be about unity in one spirit to sing this song in one voice.
[P] Dear Father, Your story of salvation is a superbly wonderful one. May I along with many others at my community sing a new song for You throughout year 2011? In Jesus' name. Amen.
