Metronome of Life!

The Lord says:

"These people come near to me with their mouth

and honor me with their lips,

but their hearts are far from me.

Their worship of me

is made up only of rules taught by men.

Isaiah 29:13

God wants your lips and your heart to be in sync! When the orchestra and the soloist are not at exactly the same place in the musical score the resulting sound is at first noticeable, then irritating, and if it continues it sinks to the point of being a laughable joke! If the sounds made by all of the instruments in an orchestra itself are separated by just one second you hear only noise and it is not music to your ears.

A man to be praised is one whose speech is consistent with his heart. You know that the words you hear are coming from the depths of his heart and he is not a man of deception.

With the coming of audio and video recordings it is now possible to hear and see the inconsistencies of people who make public proclamations. It is no longer shocking to hear a politician making a claim that was quite obviously a lie in order to gain your vote! Even public liars are not held accountable for their performances which are out of sync with the orchestra of truth!

God however still desires that your words and your heart are consistent and playing the same song! When He hears your words of worship and praise He also looks at your heart. Is your worship merely words from your mouth or is it an accurate expression of the condition of your heart?

Truth itself is the metronome of life by which God judges whether or not He is hearing music or noise! Listen for the Spirit of God to give you the beat for the next sound you make. Your simple life can then become part of the glorious chorus of Praise and Adoration!
