Day 80

Deuteronomy 31:30-32:52; Psalm 90.  “Songs of Obedience”

         Music plays an amazing part in our life.  We listen to it as we drive, as we relax at home, as we watch a movie and it plays in the background. We hum melodies as we work, and we worship through music each week.
         I have found myself sitting in a restaurant singing the words to a song playing over the speaker that I have not heard in 20 years, and even then, I did not think I sang it that much those years ago.  Words through song stick with us in a unique way.  Often memorizing words come easier when accompanied with music.  God knows the power of song.
         God told Moses to write down the words to the song and teach it to the Israelites.  That very day, in immediate obedience, Moses wrote the words and taught Israel the song (Dt. 31:22).
         The songs of Moses were effective ways of reminding Israel of the power of God and their history with God.  The songs prayerfully encourage us to walk closely with God, our Rock.  And may our songs be heard by others.
