As I write this I am listening to a group called Celtic Worship.  They are a worship band from Scotland.  Their music is centered around the old hymns.  Of course they add their twist to the songs.  Yet, they return the listener to the old ways, the old thoughts, the ancient paths.

 

Music has always had a soothing effect upon people.  While some music promotes rage and anger, for the most part music is done to create an emotional response. 

 

The Bible has one book devoted to songs.  It is called Psalms.  The Jewish people to this day still sing from this book.  They have memorized it because of music.  Therefore, at anytime in life they can bring up a promise from God, a directive for living, a word of encouragement, or even a prophecy.   All because of the musical lines.

 

Take some time today and listen to Christian music.  Do not have it playing in the background, listen to it.  If you can listen to Jewish people who sing the Psalms.  It will bring joy to your day.
