What Affects You?

     As you’re sitting there, reading this, you have thoughts running through your mind. Maybe about what I am writing, or just random thoughts. Give it a couple seconds or a minute and you’re probably thinking about something else. Thoughts overflow you’re mind. However, something that overflows my mind is music, sounds, beats, or lyrics. When you lay in a room, alone, you are probably going through thoughts in your head. If I am in a room, alone, I am probably singing in my head. Looking for something to do? I would choose listening to music. During homework, music is a necessity. Sounds crazy, but wouldn’t it be nice to major in listening to music? Something that I find fascinating about music is that not one person has the same taste of music as the next person. It’s almost like a finger print. Agree to disagree? Find someone with the same exact taste of music as you in EVERY way. I think music is so important in our culture today. Music can be such an amazing thing; but it can also have a negative influence. I’m writing about music not because it’s something I enjoy, but because it’s what I love to use as worship to our Creator. “Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation” (Psalm 95:1)! We’re presented with different ways to worship and praise the Lord. However, the art of worship that connects to me most is music. I want to encourage and urge you to guide the music you listen to or even create to be glorifying to the Lord. Outside of music, make sure the things that affects you most, are what glorifies God as well.
