Sing Once More

My youth group is going through Ephesians right now. Here is the passage that we looked at on Sunday:

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

My youth pastor used an excellent picture to describe "singing and making melody in your heart." Singing is a result of being filled with the Spirit. The Spirit gives us so much inner joy that it overflows. He explained that it's like a musical. Your heart is so full of praise that it spontaneously floods out into song. Of course, the difference between this and musicals is that the songs we sing are praise songs, not songs about the hills being alive or singing in the rain or any other number of things.

How often does your heart overflow with praise? How often does mine?
