The Power of Music

Greetings to all. As we begin this hump day, Wednesday, let us recognize the power of God's presence, even in the music that surrounds us.

Things are not always as they seem in our lives. We might look fine on the outside, but our mood or attitude can be affected by things we or others cannot see. Music has healing power and can shape how we feel, for better or worse. Gospel music, especially, can comfort us and bring peace.

1 Samuel 16:23 (MSG)

23 After that, whenever the bad depression from God tormented Saul, David got out his harp and played. That would calm Saul down, and he would feel better as the moodiness lifted.

Lesson: We do not always know what God has planned for us or what challenges we will face. The music we listen to can help us each day, especially when we are struggling.
