The Power of Music
A short time ago, I was feeling uneasy and somewhat overwhelmed from the moment I woke up. I guess some mornings are just like that. I said a prayer and gave myself a pep talk as I prepared for my day. When I get in the car, I usually power up my bluetooth headset and call my mom as I drive to work. Not this morning.
Something told me to turn on the radio. Almost immediately, my spirits lifted. Within moments, my heart soared. I was clapping, singing and bouncing to the beat. It was the perfect pick-me-up. The song on the radio was called Victory by Tye Tribbett. It was followed by two other songs in the “Witness Fitness Mix” on 100.9FM. Just what the doctor ordered. I’ve been singing ever since.
Sometimes uplifting comes in the form of a song. Nothing speaks to me like a good song. At other times a comedy rerun, chocolate or a hug is what I need. Still other times, only a verse from the Word will do. Whatever the case, don’t forget to get “lifted” every day. It’s good medicine. Don’t forget to laugh. Oh yeah, and dance!

OK. Just listened to Victory and can so see why it lifted your spirits.
I grew up in a home filled with music so it really shouldn’t be a surprise to me that music has a profound affect on me. Sometimes, though, I find myself running to the music instead of the Father. Most of the time it leads me to the Father, but sometimes I’m just move the a song.
Thanks for sharing your story.

Karen, I’m glad you enjoyed the song! This one definitely pointed me to the Father when I really needed it.

Hey Babs!
I loved the title of this blog! My favorite singer, Kristine W (www.kristinew.com) is about to release an album titled “The Power of Music” and is all about the stories she’s been told while on the road about how music has shaped and changed people’s lives. Truly amazing!
