Salvation is a Symphony


Salvation is a Symphony:

Slow down, and listen to the rhythm of God's heart. It beats to the tempo of never ending grace. Sometimes it's hard to hear, because the racket of the world clamours so deafeningly. But when you slow down to truly feel the notes dancing over your heart strings, peace and joy rain in glorious harmony.

"The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." (Zephaniah 3:17)

I found myself wondering today, if people who are recurrently down and depressed have tried listening to music to help alleviate the haze of sorrows. Of course, the number one best and only true way to become forever freed from depression or anxiety is to give it all to God - our Heavenly Father and great Healer.

There are some factors that bring some extra joy though, such as music. Whenever I turn on some praise and worship, immediately my spirits are uplifted and I'm drawn closer into the Presence of the Lord as my soul sings songs of exaltation to my God.

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name." (Psalms 100:4)

See, it's written that the corridor into His courts is covered in praises and thanksgiving. Also, above in Zephaniah 3:17, we see that the Lord rejoices over us with singing. He sings over us!

I really believe that depression results from a deafening, a deafening to the melody of our marvellous Maker's song. Now, God never stops singing over us. Rather, it's the darkness of this world that clogs up our ears and silences the serene sound of our Sovereign Lord's song.

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." (Colossians 3:16)

When we accept Jesus into our hearts as our Lord and Saviour, He brings a brand new song of joy and peace into our lives. Sorrowful living stops when the Saviour orchestrates His symphony of salvation.

Next time you're feeling down, turn on some praise and let your spirit sing a song of worship to the Lord. Before you know it, He shall come and restore to you peace, joy, and hope. Hallelu Yah! Praise the Lord our God! He is good! Sing songs of adoration to our Father! Amen!

Faith That He is Near Always

   One, of many things, for which I am very  grateful, is that the Lord is always near me. He is never far away. I can call on Him through prayer, and He will always listen. He genuinely cares for what I am worried about. No prayer is too small or unimportant, because we are God's children and He loves us all.    Call upon the Lord in times of need, and in times of joyfulness. He wants to commune with us. He desires our yearning for His presence. When we're longing for that "something more" He is the One that can satisfy. He is gentle and loving. He wants to be with you more than you can even imagine.    "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." ( Psalm 145:18 ) It pleases Him when we reach out to Him in desperation. Because He is The Creator of all things that exist, when He is our passionate desire, When He is the One thing we need , that's when we are complete. That is when we have peace, joy, and abundant life.

I Loved You at Your Darkest

I Loved You at Your Darkest: "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus." (Matthew 17:5-8) In the first few verses of Matthew chapter seventeen, Jesus led Peter, James, and John up to a mountain top. It was just the four of them, or so the disciples thought. Whilst they were walking Jesus was "transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." (Matthew 17:2) Today, this passage is really speaking to me. I feel like the Lord is using this passage as a reminder that sometimes we must fall "facedown on the ground" in complete awe of His glory and surrender to His mysterious yet miraculous ways. A
