TRINKETS TO TRIUMPH

Make a Melody to Your Master

Music can move the masses! More importantly, music can move your Master to manifest the prayers and petitions you have before Him. Imagine making a melody to your Master and your sweet song and daring dance for Him breaking yokes and releasing blessings. Make a melody to your Master and minister to Him with a song and dance. He will show up because God inhabits the praise of His people (Psalm 22:3). A melody to your Master can move mountains.

Mark Twain penned it perfect when he said, “Sing like no one‘s listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like nobody’s watching, and live like it’s heaven on earth.” He may have known that it was the inner man that often stopped you from letting your light really shine and living out loud for the Lord. Make up your mind to tune into your tunnel vision and make a melody to your Master no matter the situation or circumstance. God doesn’t worry about what you sound like or how you look because He is listening to your heart through your voice and He is interpreting your dance moves as glory and adoration for Him.

Sing even in a set of chains. Sometimes you are in a situation and you cannot see your way out of it. Your problems may have made you a prisoner but sing a song unto the Lord and He can break the chains that have you bound and set you free. The Apostle Paul and Silas prayed and sang songs unto God while they were in prison and suddenly there was a great earthquake, the foundation of the prison was shaken, and everyone’s chains were loosed (Acts 16:2534). The Apostle Paul and Silas’s melody to their Master moved God and He broke their chains to set not only them free but also everyone in the prison (Acts 16:25-34). Just like the Apostle Paul and Silas, a melody to your Master can propel you out of any prison or situation you find yourself in, free those around you, and make others want to know more about your Master just by you singing your song. Your song can set you, and others, free. Make a melody to your Master.

Dance despite the disdain. Not everyone will know what you have been through that sparked your dance. Some will not know what the Lord did on your behalf that made you dance before the Lord and offer Him a melody in praise and worship. Some will know your story and cannot believe how you still choose to dance instead of being downtrodden. King David dared to dance before the Lord despite how he looked and what people thought of him. Even his own wife was disgusted (2 Samuel 6:20). He had a reason to celebrate and dance before the Lord and did so regardless of how he looked or what someone thought of him (2 Samuel 6:22). King David was well aware of the melody he was making to his Master manifesting in a dance. Dare to dance like King David. Make a melody to your Master.

All throughout the Bible, you can find examples of a song and or a dance as a part of a deliverance, victory, or triumph. Moses made a melody to his Master when God delivered Israel out of Egypt and before they entered the Promised Land (Exodus 15:121; Deuteronomy 32:1-43). Miriam made a melody to the Master with her tambourine and dance when God delivered Israel out of Egypt (Exodus 15:20-21). Mary made a melody to the Master for the conception of Jesus (Luke 1:46-55). Making a melody to your Master will set you up to be victorious and to be blessed beyond measure. Sing your song and dance your dance and make a melody to your Master!
