ASLC Devotions -- Monday

Judges 5:3
 ³‘Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes;
   to the Lord I will sing,
   I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.

Then Deborah and Barak sang that day, and they invited kings and princes to hear them. But the scripture makes it very clear that they're singing to the Lord, the God of Israel. It might be a fine line, a subtle nuance perhaps, but I appreciate the difference between singing to the kings and princes and inviting them to listen. 

I wonder how our lives would be different if the songs of praise and story that we sang (literally sang or figuratively sang) were melodies to the Lord, and we invited the rest of the world to listen. All too often, I think, we sing to the rulers of this world, and simply invite God to eavesdrop on our lives. Is your life one of praise to God, or do you just hope that God happens to be listening? 

Peace,
