Rhythm  – “When you get in rhythm with the Word you discover your joy”

Scripture:  Nehemiah 8:9-12

I absolutely love music.  It brings me joy.  Not a day goes by without listening, singing, tapping my foot, or playing drums even when are no “drums” to be played.  I love the rhythm and feeling the tempo of a good song.  Life is the same.  It’s a rhythm.  However, listening to music with a broken tempo is…painful.  The people of God found their rhythm again in this passage.  They got back in sync with God’s word and it all started with the celebration of Sabbath and the reading of His word.  They rediscovered how good it felt to be in lock step with the word and it was time to party.  Absolute joy overcame the entire population.  Why?  They rediscovered how good it is to dwell in the holiness of God.  May you discover this today.
