Music

Isn't it wonderful how God uses music to touch our souls? During this trying time in my life I find that when all else fails, the music comes. I can pray with hymns. I can praise with my voice. I can sing in my head when I'm in the middle of a medical test and looking for peace. Because music is a way that God speaks to us, just as He did in the Psalms so long ago.

So many songs have been touching me lately that I've lost count. But one that is always close says this:

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand;
But I know who holds tomorrow,
and I know who holds my hand.


And I do.

Music touches my soul, as well. The hymns we sing reach way down deep, where no one but God can see. They speak encouragement, and bring soothing comfort, they lift our spirits, they lift our praises to our God whose ears hear them. There is something about that which mystifies me. We sing to Him, He gives us joy, peace, comfort, and more songs to sing! It's never ending. It's miraculous to me!
Thanks for your wonderful thoughts, so real, so honest and so encouraging to your readers.
