The power of music. The joy of our memories.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, the majesty of the name of Jesus.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, today, regardless of the season, listen to music that proclaims Jesus. And, listen to the song with someone.&nbsp;&nbsp;Or, as a song blesses you, send that blessing to someone else.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sing out in a worship service.&nbsp;&nbsp;Or, listen intently as you are led.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, tune in to music about our blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do not wait until Christmas.&nbsp;&nbsp;Begin now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow the power of God-ordained music to fill your soul. I realize you have favorite songs, genres, artists, and styles.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, I realize that most smart phones have the capability to bring hundreds of thousands of songs right to your ears.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, don\u2019t just settle for music.&nbsp;&nbsp;Fill your life with the songs of the redeemed and songs of the Redeemer.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, even if you play your favorite over and over again, ask God to give you a new song &#8211; a fresh song of worship on your lips every morning.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music is powerful. Music is moving. Music stirs the emotions and activates the memory.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is why filling your life with songs of worship becomes so important.&nbsp;&nbsp;You may later recall what you are singing at this very moment.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, you may need the message that uplifts more than entertains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, although you might enjoy country, jazz, classic or contemporary, fill your life with the songs of our Savior.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, go forward with a new song in your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>READ<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read Psalm 96:1-13 and sing a new song.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sing to the Lord a new song.
