Music

So I am sitting here in the dining room, just finished an online homework assignment. Throughout the assignment I was listening to Praise and Worship music, mostly Hillsong. It is amazing to me how music can have such a profound impact on what I am doing throughout the day. I have been listening to the same songs for like 2 years now, but they never get old. It is kind-of like a prayer. Many times throughout my life, I have prayed the same exact thing, but depending on the situation, my emotional status, and everything else going on in my life, it totally makes the prayer unique to every situation. Praise and worship  is like custom fit music. It adapts perfectly to wherever you are in your life. "Shine your light and let the whole world see, for the glory of the risen King!" This can be sung in times of triumph, sadness, hardship - most praise lyrics cover everything. 


I think this is possible because God is the artist of all things. Everything in one way or another has a reflection of Him, so it is possible to bring him into every situation. I guess my word today is just to have the courage to bring God here, right in this place, right now. He wants to be here. Why would he create something if he had no interest in it?
would I create food and then not eat it?
In the same way, I think God has an infinite interest in each one of us. So much so that He loves me the same as if there was no one else to love. The hardest part, like in every situation is taking that first step. Once I realize He is here and call out to him, no matter the difficulty, this is it. This is living in Truth, in reality, in the fullness life has to offer because He created it, and anyone can read a book, but if you get the inside scoop from the author, how much more can I understand it?


Hosanna in the highest -
