Sometimes we have to push our own buttons to get into the right frame of mind to receive what the Holy Spirit has for us. Music soothes the savage beast, or so it’s said. Well I’m no savage beast but I do love music. It speaks to me in ways other forms of communication don’t. I was a musician in grade school until a set of circumstances carried me away from the saxophone. Perhaps someday I’ll take up another instrument. Until then, I’ll listen and rock out!
Christian music pushes my buttons these days. Singing along is like praying twice – it’s true! I try to listen to a few songs each morning before I leave for the gym, not to mention listening to K-Love on the drive. My goals are to cast the devil away, open myself to daily renewal in Christ and pray I show love in everything I do. This series of posts will share some of my favorite songs. I hope you enjoy them and are moved by them.
