Has a song ever reached deep into your soul when you needed
it most? Or is that just me?
Sometimes God speaks to me through music. Some days I am busy doing a job and a song
comes on that grabs my attention and says – STOP
and Listen. When I take the moment to
be still – and listen – I hear the message. I hear His message. Often, I need to hear the song several times
to let the message sink in.
So, I pick up my phone and look up the song on the internet. Then I download it and listen to it again…
and again. I ask God, “Why this song,
and why now?” Most times I have heard the song before, but for some reason it reached
my soul at that moment and woke me up.
I am sharing this with you today because it happened
again. I spent the morning getting
things ready before I went to a sister in Christ’s home. I am currently working on my next book, and we
spent some time together today to write more on her story which will be in the
book.
We talked about the awesomeness of God in our lives as she shared
her story with me. I was so inspired
after we finished that I wanted to get home and jump on my computer right away.
However, work got in the way the minute I pulled in the
driveway. I proceeded to catch up on all
the calls and pressing issues. After the dust settled, I sat down to write.
As I started to collect my thoughts I heard: Holy Water
by We The Kingdom on KLove radio.
One section of the song caught my attention.
Your
forgiveness
Is
like sweet, sweet honey on my lips
Like
the sound of a symphony to my ears
Like
Holy water on my skin
This song was our afternoon anthem of how we felt about His
forgiveness.
His forgiveness… How
deep that song went into my soul.
I just sat and listened to the song several times and praised
God for His forgiveness in my life.
Where would I be without His grace and mercy in my life? I would be lost. I would not be here writing to you.
I am so grateful for His forgiveness in my life.
Take time today and meditate on His word through song today…
Acts 26:18 (NIV)
to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and
from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins
and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
1 John 1:9 (NIV)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has
come: The old has gone, the new is here!
