MOODY MUSIC
Do you include Christian music as one of your choices? I did not grow up listening to Christian music on the radio. I was willing to sing it at church or with the family around the piano, but I just couldn't seem to get into it when I heard it on the radio. I preferred rock and roll. I'm a product of the '60's. Rock and roll is fast paced and worldly, which reflected my former life. It's not that I was a bad person. I was a regular church goer, but I didn't give God much thought outside of church. I had little interest in developing a relationship with my heavenly Father. I wasn't in the mood for Him, so I tuned him out.
When I did turn my life over to God and began to listen to a Christian radio station, I found the music was foreign to me. I was still drawn to rock and roll. But the more I listened to Christian music, the more I came to appreciate it. I began to concentrate on the words. They really spoke to me. Then I noticed the music was catchy, too. I had "grown" to like it.
Now I listen to Christian music exclusively. Each selection that is played is like a sermon in a song. It leads my thinking in the right direction, it reminds me of truths I have forgotten, and it reinforces God's Word. It gives Him more of a chance to speak to me. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I was comforted or lifted up by a song. I prefer that mood to the negative words spoken to me through a worldly song. Sometimes a song will touch me and even make me cry. I think of one such song: It Is Well With My Soul. When I heard that song for the first time, it was like a punch in the stomach. It wasn't well with my soul. I sought change in my life and that led to peace. It is now well with my soul.
