Listening To Your Heartsong
Is it fair to say that we really don’t listen effectively to the music of God’s rhythm for our lives? The pace and pressures of daily routine are filled with our “stuff” which seems to drown out the inner music that infuses life, light and joy. My experiences teach me that God’s steadfast love is available always and that God’s grace brings harmony when it seems there are only the notes of discord.
Max Lucado has designed a deck of cards called “Comfort Cards.” These comfort cards contain various little comfort statements based on the Psalms, particularly the 23rd Psalm. Our “Ace for the Day” is this card: “God wants you to hear God’s music.” On the flip side of the card is this simple meditation: “If God must silence every voice, God will. God has a rhythm that will race your heart, and lyrics that will stir your tears. You want to lie down in peace? Remember, God’s music can soothe your soul.”
May your Thursday in this very, very cold midwinter be filled with the soothing songs that touch your soul.
Prayer: God of melody and harmony, write your song in my heart today. Amen.
