Week 7 | Day 5 | Music is a Love Language

Command:

For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory. Matthew 6:13b (NKJV)

Read:

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. Colossians 3:16 (NIV)

Reflect:

Music has been part of my faith most of my life. Growing up psalms played through the organs or hymns sung by a choir which morphed later in life into contemporary music with the bass of the drum can be felt through the subwoofers. Each completely different but each focused on one thing. Worshiping the Lord.

Funny how music can touch the deepest souls of our being depending on the right style. Each of us have different preferences. But when the words, the music, the moment where we submit to praising our God, we are connected. You can’t help but raise your hands, shed tears of joy because in these intimate moments of worship we are praising God for His glory, and inviting Him to continually be a part of our lives. It’s an intimate experience that truly reminds us of how great our God is.

React:

Have you discovered the type of worship music you feel most connected with God? Take a moment each day to listen and connect with Him, reflect on His greatness, and praise Him for what he has done in your life.  

Pray:

Lord, thank you for the gift of music and songs that honor you. I pray I pause each day to connect with you and praise you.
