I love music. Whe...I definitely know what you mean. I love music. Whenever I'm driving I need to have music on, and I love movie soundtracks. And musicals! Even if the songs are cheesy, it's exciting to see people break out in song and dance in the middle of a scene lol.<br />And I definitely agree with music affecting you in a bad way, too. One year I was working at a retail store during the holiday season, and the night before Thanksgiving we all had to stay really late to set up for black friday. Well, the manager turned on her own music, blasting through the store's speakers, and it was HORRIBLE! I mean, this was literally the worst music I had ever heard. It really wansn't music at all. It was like hardcore rap and screamo. You could literally feel the evil there, and there was nothing I could do about it. I even said I didn't like it, and she apologized but kept playing it! :/Sarah McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10470227798668069034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615829725379318976.post-64325176998270116382012-04-23T18:31:06.193-07:002012-04-23T18:31:06.193-07:00Thank you, Caroline!

Vers...Okay, I had to find it ... 2 Chron. 20:13-22. Verse 15 mentions "Don't be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God's." Verse 21 - the king appointed singers to walk ahead of the army, singing to the Lord. Guess what they sang? "Give thanks to the Lord, his faithful love endures forever!" And at that moment they began to sing, God caused the enemy armies to turn against each other. Battle done. God wins. Yay! Music and praising God ... How great is our God! :)Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073958371791493062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615829725379318976.post-43375254088141141372012-04-23T15:16:53.421-07:002012-04-23T15:16:53.421-07:00So true, Heather!

I don't play an instrument nor can I sing well, but I don't let that stop me from worshiping my King. That's a great Psalm to sing too!<br /><br />Caroline, I remembered that story and tried to find it.. the one where they sent the musicians out before the army and they defeated the enemy.. couldn't find it.. will look in 2 Chron. It's a fabulous story!<br /><br />Eszter, During the first phase of my writing, yes, I always have music on. Usually it's the soundtrack from a movie.. very dramatic and empowering.. <br />that Daystar channel sounds great!MaryLu Tyndallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627854450199870544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615829725379318976.post-30443593446539384492012-04-23T14:22:24.738-07:002012-04-23T14:22:24.738-07:00Do you listen to music as you write?

The Daystar channel has a program called "reflections" where it plays some hymms. and a lot of original pieces from different christian composers while showing some videos of nature.

Thank you MaryLu! I love this post....YES, yes, yes! Thank you MaryLu! I love this post. I agree wholeheartedly, and know from personal experience the power of music. Music does have the power to encourage, enable, and break down strongholds. I know it to be true! And yes, on the flip side, it can be used to destroy as well. <br />May our hearts always have a longing to "sing praise, sing praise". May our music glorify the song-master! I believe that somewhere in 2 Chron. it talks about the musicians being sent out, ahead of the army to face a battle ... the "battle belongs to the Lord" comes from that one. (Another good story.)<br />I woke up this morning with a song in my heart: "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever." :) Love it!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073958371791493062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615829725379318976.post-22950388232189915242012-04-23T07:57:04.910-07:002012-04-23T07:57:04.910-07:00Mon Apr 23rd,
"Morning, MaryLu."
What an...Mon Apr 23rd,<br />"Morning, MaryLu."<br />What an excellent post !!! Yes, what we listen to is SO extremely important ... it can surely sway us one way ... or, the other.<br />Along with the verses you shared, I am reminded of Psalms 150, verses 1- 6 ... which our Church often receites in unison 'before' a Service even begins. It definitely opens the door to -- Worshipping and Praising our Lord !!!<br />I do not play an instrument ... but I love to listen to the various instruments and music being played; and of course, the words to the songs ... most uplifting.<br />Thanks for sharing.<br />Take care, and, God Bless,<br />In Him, Brenda HurleyBrenda Hurleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02300198431909618080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615829725379318976.post-44763981607786234532012-04-23T07:29:22.118-07:002012-04-23T07:29:22.118-07:00This post rocked :) :) I totally agree about what ...This post rocked :) :) I totally agree about what you said about music. I found a cable station on my aunt's tv that just plays Christian music all the time. So when I want music in the house, which is almost all the time now, I'll play that :) :) It really does set the tone in the house when we literally fill it with His praises :) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :) :) :)Heather's Blog-o-ramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490555197097928275noreply@blogger.com
