Greetings to you in the name of the One at whose feet every knee shall bow and every tongue confess His majesty and Lordship, Jesus Christ – THE Risen Saviour! On this rather cool, quiet morning in the Kingdom…Happy November 1st! Another new month with another thirty days to spend and enjoy…let us do so wisely. Today I will be praying for you, asking Father to release a wave of blessing, peace, and hopefulness into your being.
I have been enjoying new music…and in particular, I know it sounds crazy, songs on Christmas albums and single cuts as well. There are two songs that have captured my attention and I printed the lyrics out so I could read and ponder and pray, The two songs complement each other and carry messages that don’t belong to just one season.
The first song is by a relatively new artist called, Zach Williams. He had a very popular song recently called – The Chain Breaker. His Christmas song is titled – The Call of Christmas, and a few lines from the song go like this: Hear the call of Christmas-All you lost and left behind-The lowly and those longing-With an emptiness inside-The forgotten and forsaken-I bring you good news-Hear the call of Christmas-The Saviour waits for you. It has a haunting sort of melody that seeps into your heart.
The second song is by a group called, Casting Crowns, and is called – Make Room. A few lines from this song go like this: You can come as you are-But it may set you apart-When you make room in your heart-And trade your dreams for His glory-….Is there room in your heart- For God to write His story. Once again the melody captures your thoughts and your heart.
I suppose you may have guessed but I am working on my Christmas preparations so I am sure that I will be listening to a few more Advent and Christmas selections…and I will take hope in the fact that “the Saviour is waiting for me” around every corner and in each situation. I will also make sure that I “make room for Him to write His story” in my heart.
Have a great day…let God speak to you through music!
