Musical bliss

Ever allow the sounds of the Alman Brothers take you to another place in time? Or sit back and close your eyes and let the angelic sounds of Alison Krause give you a tiny glimpse of what Heaven will be like one day?

There is nothing quite so potent, save the Holy Spirit, that can touch me quite as powerfully as music can. The rythmic taps of the ivory keys and the baseline drums tapping a dance out in my soul can take all my worries away, and wash away every ounce of anxiety, even if only for a few precious hours.

That is what I am doing tonight. In need of some down time and finding it impossible to relax I was very grateful when the Lord reminded me that joy was only a few clicks away. I chased down my iPod, plugged it in to my hi-tech docking station, grabbed a glass of iced green tea, threw myself a half a dozen pillows on the bed and then plopped down into a comfortable bliss. The peace and security that overtakes me came almost instantly as the sounds of the 70′s cascaded through the room and set my spirit at ease. Thank you Lord that you have so many wonderful and delightful ways of bringing us to joy. You are an awesome and loving God and I am so honored to be called by your name.

So my prayer is that once you read this, you too will take some time out of your busy schedule to allow the Lord to love on you. Allow His Spirit to fill you with joy and surround your soul in musical bliss, even if only for just a few stolen hours this week. I must go now guys, one of my favorites from Little River Band has just started. It called ”Help is on the way” and that is exaclt what this time out has been for my spirit, help.

All my love,

Chris
