A church member, Bill Pope, sent this clip to me yesterday. I have to admit I didn't watch it because at first glance I saw it was a YouTube clip. But as I got bored last night I ended up reading everything I skimmed over earlier. I have to admit, I think the clip is a little cheesy, but there is a part of me that likes it too.
[Watch the clip or this next part won't make sense!]
I'm glad people can't walk up and put a stethoscope on my heart and listen to it's theme song for the moment. I know it's hard for you all to believe :) but my heart doesn't always sing the chorus to the "Hallelujah Chorus." But, I don't think our hearts have to. Everyone in the Bible went through different phases of their walk with God. David would get angry; Moses would get frustrated; Anna would get anxious; Hannah would get sad on occasion that she gave her son away to the local priest (at least if she is like any other mom, she would get sad!).
So although these giants of our faith made it to the "good book (BIBLE)," and even seem more righteous than I or we will ever be, their emotions and feelings were like any other human beings that changed on occasion. The key is that they pursued the Lord and His righteousness so much so that they wouldn't let their emotions and feelings dictate their relationship with Him. My prayer for me, and for all you who will read this, is that we won't let our emotions and feelings ever stop us from ultimate claiming, "HALLELUJAH!"

great post Matt! Love the concept behind it. Song of my heart, hmm, good question. I'd love it to be "Beautiful Day" by U2 but more often than not it is "Some Days Are Better Than Others" by U2.
Loved this post, Matthew. So very grateful that the one that gave me my emotions understands them! :)
Hugs,
Shellie
