Psalm 101:1 My theme song is God's love and justice, and I'm singing it right to you, GOD.

A theme is a common thread that runs through all the different areas of our lives.  A song is so many things.  It’s a way to remember something, like a commercial jingle, or it’s a way to express yourself, or it’s an anthem.  So a theme song is an anthem that is expressed in all parts of us.  GOD’S love and HIS justice is the expression that flows through our lives.  HIS heart and HIS righteousness is what is remembered in every thought, every action, every idea and plan of his children.  We have this song running through our heads so much, that we can’t help but sing it right back at the Father of creativity, love and justice.

I’m reminded of the movie “The Emporer’s New Groove” and how Cuzco hires a band to follow him around and constantly play his theme song, and how Cuzco makes fun of the doofy guy, Kronk, for having to sing his own theme song.  Apart from being hilarious, there is a little message here.  Am I more like Cuzco who needs people to sing his theme song over him with great hype and fanfare and then stands in judgement of people who dare to walk their own walk?  Or can I be like Kronk?  Able to sing my own song with pride and to know myself so well that my song is a part of ME, and not put on me by others?  

Lord, let the music of your love and justice be my song.  Let YOUR heart resound in my life.  May my theme be rooted in the confidence of WHO YOU ARE and who you’ve called me to be.
