My heart overflows
with a goodly theme
Psalm 45:1
Do you remember the old TV theme songs?
In the sixties, seventies, and eighties when I grew up, the theme song often defined the show as much as the acting and plot lines. (Indeed, often the theme song was better than the acting and plot lines!)
Let me ask ... What is the theme song for your life?
Indeed, what is the theme of your heart? What tickles your fancy? What principles and priorities do you keep returning to? Do you have a vision or goals?
It's one question to ask: What do you WANT to be the theme of your life. But probably a better first question is: What really IS the theme of your life? Is it goodly and godly? Is it mediocre and slothful? Is it tainted too much by sin? Is it so busy that you can't even hear joyful music?
In your life, do the words of Mufasa to his son in The Lion King ever ring true? The king says, "[Child,] you are more than what you've become."
In your life, might that be a call to personal self-examination? I hope you see it as a call to action. I hope you resolve to have your heart overflow with a more goodly and godly theme.
It is a choice.
And it is a blessing.
In Christ's Love,
a guy who wants to go …
where everybody knows your name
and they’re always glad you came
