The Bible is brimming with music.
After crossing the Red Sea Miriam danced with a tambourine & led Israel in
a song. Psalms is the songbook for Israel. Jesus was born among a chorus of
angels, and all of heaven seems continually filled with songs. Lord, You have
placed a song in the heart of Your people, fill me with glorious praise. I
joyfully join the happy chorus: “we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love”.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
