Ever have a song that you find and then it's on repeat like literally all day long? That seems to happen to me a lot. Thankfully my kids love music just about as much as I do and they are very forgiving when we listen to the same song over and over and over again :)
God made us to love everything that he created us to be. Whether it is loving nature, loving books, loving music... I feel as followers of Christ we need to use those passions to bring ourselves closer to Him and to help lead others to know how precious He is. Music is and always has been my biggest passion. I joke with my hubby that I was a singer in another life ;) Music has always healed my soul. You could always tell what mood I was in by what music I listened to. Now what constantly plays around my house is praise music... Hillsong United, Kari Jobe, David Crowder, Christy Nockles, Big Daddy Weave... Oh the list goes on and on! One song in particular that has been speaking to my soul is Be Still My Soul (In You I Rest) by Kari Jobe. I'm really not sure how many times I have listened to it recently, but I'm sure it's a crazy number!
I have always treasured this song. "Be still, my soul, the Lord is on thy side..." God is on my side. God is with me on the rocky path and the calm waters. He is with me when I feel like I am drowning in anxiety or the unknowns. He is with me when I am feeling like I can conquer the world. I drink him in and my soul is still. My soul is at rest. My soul is at peace. I love the words of the chorus "In you I rest, in You I found my hope In you I trust, You never let me go I place my life within your hands alone Be still, my soul"
I posted a link to the video below. I wanted to put the actual video on my blog but I'm still learning how to use wordpress. :) I apologize for any commercial that comes on before her video. But I hope this song leaves you with a peace and a growing love for our Heavenly Father that only He can give to us!
