St. Paul wants us to, “make the most of the time….” He has some suggestions about how to do that. First, what not to do: don’t be foolish, don’t look for your answers or your healing at the bottom of a bottle or in any excesses for that matter. The lift you need, the lift that is your inheritance from God, isn’t in those places. “Sing,” he says. In fact, “fill yourself” with songs. Make melodies to the Lord in your hearts. Sing. All of us can sing, and it is music to God’s ears to hear God’s children sing. I can’t tell you how many times in my life I was in a discouraged place-a weary and disoriented place-and a song came to my spirit. And that song stuck in my head like the best and most catchy jingle. Ultimately I am not sure if I was singing the song or the song was singing in me. What I do know is I owe more to songwriters than to preachers. What is your favorite song to God?
