The power of song is amazing. As I read these two chapters, nothing in particular was jumping out at me, except the Redman song Better is one day. I love that song and its interesting to me how powerful this simple verse is, especially if you really focus on it like a song causes you to do. If I read it in my text book reading voice I probably blow right by it, but when the song comes in my head it creates an emotional impact that I want to feel one day in his courts.
How many other gifts are in scripture that I miss simply because I read as a text book but I don't slow down to take them in?

that's a great point. And to that end, I've been trying to listen to "the message" on XM as my primary radio station. Sometimes its too "churchy" for me. But, I find myself singing the words to the songs. It's such better input for the brain than the normal schtuff on the radio. The power of song is amazing, and that is definitely one of the main ways my mind works.
ReplyDeleteBetween the mind-movie that I play, and the songs running in the background....its amazing I can get anything else done.
