Match a Bible verse with a home-made tune
Do
you ever get an advertising jingle or a line from a song that you hate
stuck in your head all day? (If you do, so do millions of the rest of
us.)
Well,
fight fire with fire. Take any one sentence from Scripture that serves
as an anchor in your life, and play with it melodically until it
settles into a singable tune. Perhaps there's a familiar tune that fits
the verse. Then, discipline your mind to "loop" through that little
tune repeatedly throughout the day.
Some possible verses to put to a musical loop:
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want (Ps. 23.1)
The Lord is my light and my salvation (Ps. 27: 1)
Be still and know that I am God (Ps. 46: 10)
I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps. 139: 14)
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God (I John 3: 1)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding (Prov. 3: 5)
May
the grace of the Lord Jesus, the love of the Father, and the fellowship
of the Holy Spirit be with you always (II Cor. 13: 14)
