I love music. All kinds of music. But this season of my life has me listening to Toby Mac, Casting Crowns, Michael W. Smith, Kutless, Mandisa, Jamie Grace and the like. I recently downloaded Mandisa's newest album What If We Were Real from iTunes. I love all the songs on the album but my favorite is Good Morning with Toby Mac. The first couple of days, I would plug my iPhone into the car and crank that baby up on the way to school and it would get the girls dancing, smiling, singing and laughing. There were even a couple of morning that Anna Kate would grab hold of the volume knob and turn it down once we got close to the porch where they unload. That song would just set the mood for a good day. Sure enough, as soon as they would pile in the car those afternoons I would ask how their day went and the reply: GREAT! So we are beginning to make a habit of it because who can't use a GREAT day every now and then?!?
GOD'S WORD translation of Ephesians 5:19 reads: by reciting psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs for your own good. Sing and make music to the Lord with your hearts.
Singing, for the most part, is soothing for the soul. It just puts most everyone in a good mood! Why not try it a day or two and see how you fare? See if it lifts your spirits. Your family or co workers may not appreciate it, but your God adores your music and song!
