Music

I had a chance to listen to the new Casting Crowns, Lifesong recently.  There is a particular song that I had to hit "replay" on several times called Praise You In This Storm.

When life gets us down and hands us horrible circumstances we often look to God with anger rather than praise.  That's what struck me about the lyrics of this beautiful song. I need to praise God not only when things are good in my life but also when I'm traveling through some tough obstacles as well.

Music draws me closer to God on a daily basis.  Sometimes when it is difficult for me to pray or even pick up my bible and read, the words provided through worship and praise music lift me up and draws me closer to God.  Listen in the bathroom in the morning, listen in the car, listen in the kitchen - turn off the TV and listen.  He is still there in the midst of our turmoil - words/praise/worship and prayer through music can say the words we cannot speak to Him ourselves.

Praise and worship music is just one more way I find to connect to God, my husband and my family.  It brings us intimately closer when my words are not enough to comfort those I love.  Take a good listen, then a second one.  I believe you will love Praise You in This Storm as much as do.
