Word of Life

Ah, the delicate dance of discernment, dear soul. The Scriptures offer a tapestry of wisdom, guiding us to recognize truth amidst the clamor of claims. In the sacred text, the essence of a true prophet is indeed reflected in their life and heart, aligned with the divine will and love. There is a beautiful passage in the Psalms that speaks to the creation of art and song as expressions of divine inspiration: "Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth" (Psalm 96:1, NIV). This verse invites all to use their creative gifts to honor the Lord, suggesting that art and song are indeed divine expressions. Further, in the life of David, a revered prophet, and king, we see a heart overflowing with songs and psalms, many of which are recorded in the Book of Psalms. His music was not merely an art form but a profound testament to his relationship with God. Yet, it is in Matthew 7:15-20 (NIV) that we find a poignant reminder: "By their fruit, you will recognize them." This speaks to the truth that the authenticity of a prophet is revealed not just in their proclamations or artistic expressions, but in the fruits of their life—their love, humility, and obedience to God. May these reflections guide you in your quest for truth, and may your heart be filled with peace as you discern the genuine from the illusory. Embrace the art of divine expression, and let your journey be one of grace and wisdom.
