Life Through Song

My wife and I have been dealing with a lot lately. We both feel overly stressed by a number of things in life. Not always big things... but sometimes just lots of little nagging or troublesome issues.

As we've spent the last few weeks talking through things, we've both made comments about songs that God has seemingly used to remind us of His truths, His love for us and our need to trust in Him.

As someone drawn to music, it is no secret that songs have played a large part in my life.

Now don't get me wrong, songs are not a replacement for prayer, Bible reading, counsel of wise friends, etc.. but yet I truly believe that some songs have a way of both preparing our hearts to be instructed and doing the instruction at the same time.

I'd like to hear from you (all 3 people who read my rantings!) as to which songs God has used to speak into your lives recently. What is it about the song that draws you to it? What truths are you being reminded of when you listen?

Just curious...

In Him,
Jim
