Let the Music be Heard Devotional October 12, 2015

 ¹² The birds of the sky live beside the springs;
they sing among the foliage.
¹³ He waters the mountains from His palace;
the earth is satisfied by the fruit of Your labor.

Psalm 104:10-13 (HCSB)

How long has it been since you took that part of you that longs to sing and dance out of the box?

Don’t you think it’s time to dust the box off and let the music be heard?

It is said that if you want to stop a bird from singing; cover it with a blanket…

It’s time to take the blanket off and let the music out…

God put music in all of his creatures…

Haven’t you heard them many times? Or has your ear become deaf to the music?

Remember in childhood waking up, when windows were open, and on a clear springtime’s day you heard the birds singing their lovely melodies…

Or maybe you were in a forest or a field and birds were everywhere sending their songs upon the wind…

This is where dreams are made…

Giggling in the night…with best friends…sleep overs staying up all night…

Skipping down an old dirt road, tossing stones into a nearby creek, running bare foot all summer long…

Dreaming of who you’d be when you grew up…

Stop and remember for just a moment…listen to the birds song…life gets complicated…and busy and filled with many things that take you to nowhere…and then the curtain, like a blanket is thrown over you and the music stops…

But it doesn’t have to be that way…

Oh no!

RISE UP; GET UP; PRAY TO THE MUSIC MAKER AND SAY…I WILL SING…I WILL DANCE…I WILL MAKE THE MUSIC PLAY AGAIN!

Lord Jesus, let us hear your music today, the music you placed within each of us and let us play it for your glory…without restraint in total reckless abandonment let us sing and dance and write and be all that you have created us to be…Amen!
