Music & God

I was talking with one of my friends today and we were discussing the different forms of entertainment. She mentioned that she loves all three: Music, Reading and Books and can actually be doing two or more at a time. i.e. reading and listening to music. I was telling her that I love all three more now than I used to, but over all, the one I love the most is...

Music.

Along with God, music is the only other thing that can fill my soul like it does. It runs in and through me, like a heart beat. Dancing through my veins and bringing me to life. I find music to fit my mood, or I let music change my mood. I can quickly be uplifted and rise above all my problems the second a melodic tune comes on. It really can change me, in a second. I love that about music. Thats why I listen to music mostly about God.

I learned somewhere, that the spiritual component and musical component (or places in the brain they have detected activity when involved in these activities) are next to each other. I.e. They are connected.

With my knowledge of God and how He so intrically created us, I know this wasn't a mistake. That's why there is something about WORSHIP. Its music that brings your soul closer to God. There is a quote I heard once that said...

It is in the process of being worshiped that God communicates His presence to men
.

Dwell on that.

God communicates His presence to us through music. I know I feel that. Do you?
