Throughout the week, I have been listening to some of the most uplifting music. I know that the condition of an individual's heart has a strong bearing on what is defined as uplifting and encouraging. The music that I am very much enthralled with is a heavier Christian Rock. Petra, a group that was formed in the mid 1970s, is one of the most favorite of mine. Their lyrics, musical score, lead singer and band draw the anointing of the LORD to you. Their message was that of strength and courage for the battle and to know that GOD has not abandoned HIS children. The same is today. GOD has not abandoned HIS children and despite the long and difficult days, HE wants to remind us that HE is with us always. HE was there during the most difficult times in my life and HE is there still in the undefined. I have felt HIS hand in many aspects--hugs; hand on my shoulder; allowing me to be; and watching me laugh uncontrollably. Just like our own children, HE is interested and excited to hear all about what we have to say.
The music that we listen to during the day makes a vast difference with how our physical heart continues to beat. Choose well and know that when the LORD gives you something to carry you through the journey, hold onto it. These gifts are valuable to hold onto when the days feel lonely and desolate. Write those gifts down on the calendar so that you may have additional pieces of encouragement when there is none around. GOD is GOOD! And we can be that hand to stretch out to remind others of just how GOOD HE IS! Be well and Praise be to GOD forever and Amen.
Reminding on. Encouraging on.
