I am reading this week in my devotions through the books of Samuel. As I travel through the entire first book I am always awestruck by one character…can you guess which one? If you said David, you’re wrong. Don’t get me wrong David is awesome…just not the one that I admire the most. Now, if you said Jonathon…you hit nail on the head.

I love researching Jonathon. (It’s a goal of mine to write a book someday about all of the things I have learned by studying this man’s life.)

So what does this have to do with “melody”?

In 2nd Samuel verses 25 and 26 are lyrics to a song that David weeps out before God and the people of Israel. It’s beautiful. It’s impacting. It’s heartfelt and life changing. Why?

After reading those verses, ask yourself this question…

“Have I lived a life that is worthy of being a song?”

That is what I asked myself in the example of Jonathon. Jonathon’s life was one of great example. He was a man of anointing. He was a man of extreme honor and integrity. He was a man that was submissive to the will of the Lord. He was fierce in battle, honorable to his father, and loyal to his friends. If we look back in our life, will we be able to say as much for ourselves? Will we be able to have made such an impact in others as well? If not…then I think it’s time to make changes in our life.

It’s time we live life worthy of being a melody…
