The Power Of Music
February 10, 2014

Read: Psalm 59:6-16

I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. —Psalm 59:16

Bible in a Year:
Leviticus 8-10; Matthew 25:31-46

In Wales, the music of men’s chorus groups is deeply engrained in the culture. Prior to World War II, one Welsh glee club had a friendly yet competitive rivalry with a German glee club, but that bond was replaced with animosity during and after the war. The tension was gradually overcome, though, by the message on the trophy shared by the two choruses: “Speak with me, and you’re my friend. Sing with me, and you’re my brother.”

The power of music to heal and help is a gift from God that comforts many. Perhaps that is why the Psalms speak so deeply to us. There we find lyrics that connect with our hearts, allowing us to speak to God from the depth of our spirits. “But I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble” (Ps. 59:16). Amazingly, David wrote this song as he was being hunted down by men seeking to kill him! Despite his circumstances, David remembered God’s power and mercy, and singing of them encouraged him to go on.

May our God give us a song today that will remind us of His goodness and greatness, no matter what we may face.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long. —Crosby

“I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel.” —Judges 5:3 (nlt)

A hero is a hero is a hero! Star did a great job on letting us share his story.

Snow MAYBE by the weekend. I’m really hoping so.

Did you get all your schools ready for Monday? Your snow gone? ((HUGS))

Thanks very much – coming aboard! Rendering Hand Salutes to our National Colors and to the Officer of the Deck!

And thanks very much to you and Star for tonight’s Hall of Heroes thread! Sir Nicholas Winton is most worthy of entry into our Hall of Heroes!

One of many heroes of that era who wore no uniform, yet stood valiantly against the consummate evil perpetrated by the Axis Powers.

A funny thing, Kathy and Star - I would have been much quicker in my response to this evening's Hall of Heroes, but I was browsing on Facebook and found Star's post on Sir Nicholas. I was viewing the video as 8:00 p.m. passed.

Sir Nicholas Winton is an inspiring examplar of all that is good in Western Civilization - all that we have learned from the Graeco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, and Anglo-Saxon Traditions.

All of which is being undone by the Left.

God Bless Sir Nicholas Winton and all of the other heroes, many anonymous, who have preserved our Freedoms, our Culture and our way of life through the centuries!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
