I grew up in church listening to just about all the older groups out there at the time. I grew up with the Gaithers. I learned to appreciate the gift of music at a young age. I learned to know the difference between good and uplifting music to ones that are not so great for the soul.
There is something about music that draws me in and it's a pull that I can't explain it. It's all around us. I don't know anyone who doesn't like music and it's something humans can understand. It's from the lyrics to the beats. It's from the soul grabbing lyrics to the foot stomping beats. I can't understand it. I can't explain it. I truly love music and all that it is. I can't explain why music makes me lift my hands in total surrender. I can't explain why music makes me wanna dance or sway. The music itself proves that God knew what He was doing when He created music. I know heaven is filled with it. From the Angels to the elders to creation. We are filled with it. The universe is filled with music itself. There is more to sound than we humans will ever know. Music has the power to change the atmosphere. Music has the power to bring healing to those who need it. Music has soothing effects as well from soundtracks with scores to classical artists. I love everything about music. I love how music moves the soul. It connects with the person in a way we can't understand. I can't imagine a world without sound. Did you know that your praise is warfare? Did you know that when the Israelites went to battle they sent the worshippers first? Your praise affects the atmosphere. You can be down an out in life but the moment you stop magnifying your problems and start magnifying God. You will see a turn around like no other. Praise is what we do. We were created for worship. I challenge you this week to find a song you like and truly listen to the words. And then once you listen to the words listen to the beat. How does it make you feel? Do you feel a connection with the singer? Or do you feel that connection with the chords and key changes? What drew you into the song in the first place? If you can answer those questions then you my friend can understand music is medicine for the soul. It can either heal you or destroy you. Be careful what you listen to because guarding your heart is most important in life for out of it comes the well springs of life. Have a great day :)
