Music!<\/p>\n
It touches us somewhere deep in our soul. Songs take us back in time to places and people we were at and knew when they play. A google search on songs in the bible yielded one site that said there were 185 songs in the bible. While I can’t say any of them take me back to my own experiences I will say they enlighten me to the experience of the persons experience who sang the song.<\/p>\n
There are songs that take me back, to people, to places. I hear them on the radio or in my play list and almost instantly I my mind goes back to an event or person in my past. Some songs remind me of good times and others remind me of events I would choose not to remember if I could.<\/p>\n
God’s word gives us the songs of people in the bible because that is how they remember events as well. I think of the song of Mary Luke 1:46-55, upon seeing Elizabeth, who was also pregnant, she rejoiced to God in a song. This is recorded for us to read and meditate on!<\/p>\n
So as you think about songs, think about the words God has given us in the Bible of songs of those who came before us, some inspire, some lament, but all are worth reading.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy soul glorifies the Lord
\nand my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
\nfor he has been mindful
\nof the humble state of his servant.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
