day no. 16,649: our internal chorus

Psalm 119:54
Your statutes are my songs.

Singing is inescapable.

It may take the form of a dirge, a march, a waltz, or of a battle hymn, but there will always be some me kind of singing and some sort of score. Every scene has a soundtrack. Every moment is underscored by a movement.

The Law of God is that soundtrack when it comes to the Christian life. It is always playing and it is never inappropriate. It makes sense to tap to it or hum along. It even makes sense at other times, like David, to get your groove on, assuming your groove is dancing according to the steps of His path. When we follow the footsteps of the Lord, we discover we are learning to dance. The commands of Christ are our canticles and His Word is our waltz. His commands capture the chorus of our heart, soul, mind, and strength singing together.  When every inch of us is playing its part in the same song, the chorus is like a rush of waters awakened by the Source of living waters.
