Me:\u00a0 Nice boat Prodigal!<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I am about to take a sea voyage.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 One story before you go about another type of voyage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This story was found in Tim Chester’s book You Can Change<\/p>\n

In Greek mythology, the Sirens would sing enchanting songs, drawing sailors irresistibly toward the rocks and certain shipwreck.\u00a0 Odysseus filled his crew’s ears with wax and had them\u00a0 tie him to the mast.\u00a0 This is like the approach of legalism.\u00a0 We bind ourselves up with laws and disciplines in a vain attempt to resist temptation.\u00a0 Orpheus, on the other hand, played such beautiful music on his harp that his sailors ignored the seduction of the Sirens’ song.\u00a0 This is the way of faith.\u00a0 The grace of the gospel sings a far more glorious song than the enticements of sin, if only we have the faith to hear its music.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let me hear the faith of YOUR music today Lord!\u00a0 Let my focus be on you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 10:12-13<\/p>\n

And now, Israel, what does the LORD you God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good.<\/p>\n
