Daughter of the King

Intoxicated

Walking back from HAL (the Hall of Arts and Letters) my steps were anything but straight. My eyes couldn’t focus on one thing first they gazed up to the heavens, and then at the numerous daffodils. My cheeks hurt from the smile that wouldn’t leave my face. I hummed a little tune which was frequently interrupted by laughter.

I called my friend Gretchen to set up a study date. The conversation was choppy due partly to my random comments about the glorious sky and partly to the giggles that couldn’t be silenced. I wasn’t making sense. I hung up the phone and realized that I sounded drunk, and it was a wonderful thought.I was walking back from a Psalm sing. Truly, nothing fills the longings of the human heart like the Psalms. Nothing brings joy like the word of God sung back to Him. The Lord reminded me tonight that His Psalms are intoxicating:

“And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.” Ephesians 5:18-21
