Music- a way of "dealing" with things in the world. It is our method of escape in tough times. When we dont feel good or we just having an off day, we pop in the headphones and immediately feel better, at least in my case. Tonight was an excellent way for me to show this.
I am in the worship band at my church, for our college ministry. I play the guitar and and sing. Tonight we had one of many rehersals that we do, so we can plan out the weeks songs, see how they sound together and catch up with fellow members. We usually pray and worship in the time, its our way of saying "We want You Jesus, come" tonight we worshiped to Hillsong and we voiced a couple prayers for the Lord to use us and to help us remain focused. I felt the Lord lead me to read my bible during part of that time, He led me to the book of Psalms the 98th chapter:
Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done marvelous things;
his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
2 The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
3 He has remembered his love
and his faithfulness to Israel;
all the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.
for he has done marvelous things;
his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
2 The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
3 He has remembered his love
and his faithfulness to Israel;
all the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth,
burst into jubilant song with music;
5 make music to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,
6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—
shout for joy before the LORD, the King.
5 make music to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,
6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—
shout for joy before the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands,
let the mountains sing together for joy;
9 let them sing before the LORD,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples with equity.
the world, and all who live in it.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands,
let the mountains sing together for joy;
9 let them sing before the LORD,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples with equity.
I just prayed that and I felt the spirit there after reading through it. I began to get emotional, I'm usually not a sad person, but just being in front of royalty made me emotional and it made me fall on my face, that was one of the most awesome parts on my worship. My friend prayed for me too and I almost lost it, but my point is that God loved us so much that He died for us, me and you, past,present and forever will He love mankind, because we are His creation. Why couldnt you not worship someone like that? The God of thuniverse wants to know you and see you more on a personal level, why dont u trust Him.
