“It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough. That it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our hearts sing.” – Steve Jobs at the iPad 2 event 3-2-11
It struck me that he used the phrase “makes our hearts sing.” This is such spiritual language. This is, I believe, the cry of the human heart. That there would be a song in our heart. It’s even interesting that so many other bloggers, etc. have picked this up and stated using it.
I love that the Scripture speaks about this:
…speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord… -Ephesians 5:19
He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the LORD. -Psalm 40:3
The Lord is the one who gives us the song in our heart…the more I seek Him the more melody I get.
I really believe every heart longs to sing…God put that desire within us. But what I’m thankful for is that He has attuned my heart–my ears–my spirit–and is making my song into constant praise for Him. It’s like your new favorite says…”this love is so deep, it’s more than I can stand…I melt in Your peace, it’s overwhelming.” Becasue IS overwhelming.
It’s not popular these days, but my prayer is always, “…that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent.”
