How easy it is to get out of tune with God when we neglect to create time for connection and fellowship with him, asking him to conduct the notes that make up the “music” of our day.
I often catch myself jumping so quickly into the immediate demands of the day that I realize halfway through I’ve neglected to attune my heart, mind, and soul to Him. It’s like an off-key song that starts on the wrong note.
When I was young, my aunt told me “people make time for what they love” and I’ve never forgot it. For me, morning prayer and meditation in the word is a love-filled discipline that may only take a moment but has benefits which are immeasurable. Each individual has to find out for themselves what it is that re-tunes their heart and invites God to create a new song for their day. What works for me, may be completely different for you.
It's okay to start small because God takes even our quietest, shortest little notes of desired fellowship with Him and weaves every one of them into a closer harmony with his purpose for us and fine-tunes us to His plan. And the benefits of those little notes grow and lengthen, becoming a melody to our day, creating a love within us that yearns to sing in His key.
“Ask God to help you tune your life every day to His Word, so you can bring harmony and joy to those around you.” ~Billy Graham
“He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.” ~Psalm 40:3
