Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is
excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Eph 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Eph 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God
and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the
fear of God.
People fill
themselves with wine to excess for what purpose? I suppose the truth is they do
it for many reasons. Getting drunk isn't a good thing, losing control of
yourself, your mind, your sharp reflexes etc
is not something God would advocate.
Being filled rather with the Spirit, than wine- and when we are filled
with the Spirit we speak in -
PSALMS
HYMNS
SPIRITUAL SONGS
MELODYS IN OUR
HEARTS all to the LORD.
GIVING THANKS.
SUBMITTING OURSELVES
TO ONE ANOTHER.
Now, having read
that, do we live it?
??
Should we?
It's God's word!
Maybe, just maybe,
if we sang more to our Lord our spiritual life would be much better. We want to
be filled with the Spirit, so maybe we need to SING to the LORD as often as we
possibly can. It's worth trying isn't it? Seriously! What's the worst that singing
constantly could do? I'm not telling anyone to sing to annoy others, but we can
truly even sing in our hearts if we cannot do so aloud. The point is, singing
is uplifting! It truly is. Singing brings forth memories, it creates memories,
it has passion in it. Our hearts are
touched by songs. I'm sure there is a favorite or several favorite songs you
have, or have had during your life. Why are they your favorite? They do
something to you inwardly. When we sing in hymns, in spiritual songs, in
psalms, and melodies we are truly feeding our spirit. The Holy Spirit will
guide us in this, I know He will. This is God advocated and more than a
suggestion, but a true guidance. Do we
WANT to be filled with the Spirit? We do. To be filled we need to listen to our
LORD'S advice! Let us SING!
Please, Father,
please help us be filled with the SPIRIT. Help us sing songs to YOU for YOUR
glory, Lord, Your Glory!
All through Jesus
Christ our Lord and Savior!
Amen!
