In His infinite wisdom God created something in us that loves music. I have yet to meet anyone that isn’t moved in some make by music. For some of us it may be one of Mozarts classics. For some it is a favorite hymn. Others may be moved by one of Third Days new hits. Regardless of the style of music you prefer we move escape that fact that music touches our souls.
Some of us may conclude this connection more than others, but it is there in all of us. You may not have been raised in an environment that was music friendly but when that special song comes on the communicate or the adore leader starts to sing your favorite hymn you feel it. We all do.
The only thing that is different from person to person beside musical tastes is how much do we allow the music to move us. As I think about all the times I have suppressed my emotions during a particularly emotional praise and adore service I am torn. Do I dishonor God by not letting the gift of music move me completely? Am I being respectful of the others that I am worshiping with when I control my emotions?…Hard to say but I must admit I lean towards the dishonoring God line of thinking. If God gave me a gift then I must let that gift act me the way God wants it to move me. If it makes me cry…so be it.
I commune we can all furnish thanks to God for the wonderful gift of music and the way the music stirs our souls.
I was in need of comfort as I read the verse for today and as usual the music playing was like a background for what I felt as I read. Tears had come to my eyes while I was reading so when I read your words. I actually laughed because I was just thinking of how I often felt desire crying at times but didn’t if there were people around. I have never been one to hide my emotions but I find myself “hindering” them when others are present so as not to be labeled “weepy” or “dramatic”. Maybe I am maybe you are right and God made me that way. Perhaps the tears are not put there as an attention drawing tactic but as an outward display of like for Him.
