God is a DJ

I heard a song the other day that was interesting. The chorus went:

If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm
You are the music

If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
You get what you're given
It's all how you use it

I thought this was pretty insightful, actually.

"God is a DJ": He chose the music carefully. He already knows all the words and He's playing it loud for us to groove to.

"Life is a dance floor": Ain’t that the truth. Every person you meet is a dance partner. How have you handled those relationships?

"Love is a rhythm": Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

"You are the music": God chose you. Specifically you because He loves you and wants nothing more than to have a relationship with you.

"You get what you’re given": What you’ve been given is salvation, through the sacrifice of Christ.

"It’s all how you use it": How are you using your salvation? Are you paying it forward?

This is a simple song. It’s not even a religious ode penned by a saved person, but the words reverberate some true life lessons and can be applied to our daily thinking.

Groove to the song God has put in your heart, the song of salvation through Jesus Christ.

“God, thank you for the song of your salvation. It went to number one with a bullet over 2000 years ago, and is still at the top of the charts. Amen”
