Dad's Ramblings -- The Power of Music

"And Saul's servants said to him, 'Surely, a distressing spirit from God is troubling you. Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. And it shall be that he will play it with his hand when the distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well'....And it was, whenever the distressing spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would be become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from Him."
 
                                                                  I Samuel 16:15-16, 23
 

The power of music is amazing. As the old saying goes, "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast." It can cause great feelings of love, patriotism, and devotion that move a person's spirit. It can soothe, refresh, and bring healing. God did a good thing when he included in His creation the concept of music. Music is truly a gift from God. "He has put a new song in my mouth -- praise to our God" (Psalm 40:3).
 
Today's Thought: Music is a wonderful gift from God.
 
Have a singing day. Love you.
