Music Opens The Heart

Last weekend, I had a couple of friends over for cake and ice cream for my birthday.

My daughter, bless her hard headed self, decided that she would bless us with her singing. So she stood in the living room and sang "Be Blessed" for my friends.

She brought my one friend, a kinda hardened, crusty old guy, to tears.

Yes, she did.

He even admitted it.

Music is one way that we as Christians can open the hearts, minds, souls of those who are trying to resist the call of God. Music opens a door that the Lord can use to work His Will upon even the most hard hearted, strong willed person.

There's good reason why we have praise and worship before we have the lesson at church. Music opens us up, makes us willing recipients of the Word. It pushes the world away as voices and then hands raise in worship. We become open to the Lord.

Then His Word reaches, teaches us.

Music opens the heart, not just among the unsaved, but among His chosen people as well.

I would urge you today, turn on the music. Put on the spiritual songs that touch your heart. Let Him work on you today.

Hallelujah, hallelujah. Raise your voice to sing to Him today.

Hallelujah.
