Have you ever thought of your life as a Song? Probably not. There seems to be music everywhere these days. Not all of it is good. In fact, much of it is just plain garbage. Even in our Christian circles, despite what some theologians and pastors say, most mainstream “music” is trash.
What makes for good music? Well, now there’s a can of worms for you to mull over for the next decade or so. If you want my opinion just drop me a note.
If we used the music analogy to describe your life, would it be considered good music or bad?
Good music has a theme, is melodious, has a set time and rhythm, and is rewarding to listen to and sing if it has words.
You, who are seniors, and actually everyone, are composing a song. This song is called your life. Ask a composer about a piece of music in composition, and you might get varying ideas and comments about how it will turn out.
Life is sort of like that too. We won't really know how it will turn out until it's over. But as we are in the composition stages, what should we do to try and ensure that the music our life make is pleasing to us, to those around us, and most importantly, to the Lord?
A good composer must know something about music to have a worthy song. I didn't always believe this. In fact, I defended people who I thought were great composers, who in reality were bums.
However, the question is, who is composing your life song? Interestingly enough, God allows us to help or hinder that composition to a certain degree. If we want our life to be remembered as a good composition we need to let the Master Composer, Jesus Christ, have his artistic way in every measure.
