MUSIC OF MY LIFE
Today's reading: Psalm 119
"Your principles have been the music of my life throughout the years of my pilgrimage." Psalm 119:54 NLT
Oh, the places this verse takes my soul and myever-imaginative mind!
I can, even at this early morning hour, call to mind times when God's Word has been the music of my life...
-During long, dark nights when His printed Word was a lullaby to my fears.
-At moments when the truths of a verse spoke louder than the lies being whispered by my enemy.
-On days when I needed the Scripture like a flailing ball team needed the cheers from the stands.
-When water was pouring into my boat of faith by the bucketfuls yet God's Word repeated itself over and over to me in the tune of 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat'.
-When I was alone, even in a crowded room, it sang softly to my spirit.
-In seasons when the pages of my Bible caught tears like a tissue as I looked for answers, looked for hope, looked for the next breath to take.
-On Sundays when His word worked into the chorus of a new song spoke to my needs in the pew.
-At the times when I had to hum the words of Holy Scripture as I carried out, in anxious obedience, just what He had asked of me.
Oh, how God's Word has been music to me!
