I’ve always thought life would be better with a soundtrack. (I think I stole the idea from our daughters, but I own it now.) This morning, I came across this verse in Psalms 119:54:

Your principles have been the music of my life throughout the years of my pilgrimage. (NLT)

So true. I suddenly realized I hear a soundtrack in my head all the time. I hear snatches of song and hymns that illustrate the principle I’m experiencing at the moment. Yesterday, when my car broke down and I was stranded on the side of a sweltering road, it was “be not dismayed whate’ere betide. God will take care of you.”

And He did.

This evening, when we walked out of church into a perfectly gorgeous summer evening, it was “Oh, how He loves us so. Oh, how He loves us…” (My sister was singing that one as we strolled to the parking lot, which is really way better than just hearing it in my head.)

I’m deeply comforted by this thought of God’s principles being the music of my life. That is how I learned the most fundamental things, after all. I’m still tempted to sing the alphabet song when I’m filing charts at work. So, maybe, if I keep hearing and singing God’s truth, my soul will learn these things, too.

Maybe.
