Keeps Bringing It Back to Song and Souls

Keeps Bringing it Back to Song and Souls

Woke up as usual after some sleep at 4:30 am and went out into the living room, did some praying, reading, studying, then managed to get some sleep, before having to take my antibiotics,  and an hour later, start my usual medication regimen for Fibromyaglia, which now it appears is actually Celiac, but not properly diagnosed.  I felt like hell and still not feeling totally great, but as I prayed, I found myself drawn to go to Psalms and to two particular ones 67 and 68, to sing them, start spontaneously singing them.  It felt so right, so great to be singing, to be praising, be putting that out there.  

I thought of how free life is when one is not in bondage to sin, and dominated by the sin nature, thought there are one or two areas, such as impatience, which I still need the Holy Spirit to help me overcome.  I thought about how music can so stir the soul, the heart, make one really reflect, how the Holy Spirit can use that to convict the soul, so that soul, that heart can realize how destructive their sin and pattern of sin is to self, others, how it grieves God so much, Christ who gave his very life so much, and the Holy Spirit who wants to sanctify us unto the Lord so much.  I realized that the greatest joy I feel I feel when I am singing, songwriting, and the times I have had the opportunity to share my music and poetry in public, to perform, being able to touch hearts and souls was so wonderful, and thinking about how the songs the Holy Spirit gives me so spontaneously at all hours of the day and night, when I am walking the street,  while washing the dishes or cleaning up even, just out of the blue, melody and all, can bring the Message of the Cross home, speak His truth to all the world, it blows me away.  As I seek the will of the Father, in the Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit, I am constantly being brought back to music and song, to poetry as the path of ministry, evangelism and it truly warms my heart and my soul, makes me very happy that this is the medium chosen for me to minister and share the Message of the Cross, and Biblical truth in general.

Shalom and Amen.
