Heart of Music

Wow... its been a minute since I done a blog, so I think it's time to kick it into gear. It's been a couple of days since my last one and it has only felt like 3 days have gone by... I guess with all this working, all my days are starting to run together. Although I feel the weight being put on me, I can definitely feel God's strength being manifested in everything I do. That everything that is happening, is on His terms and no one else's. Every step I'm taking, is revealing another step into the journey He has me on.



So I was listening to music on my way home from work and just flipping through stations. I had a song come on and it used to be one of my favorite songs (before the Lord saved me) and was thinking in my head "Yeahhh dis is my jam right hurr." So I'm bobbing my head and following along to it and slowly just started fading away from it and mumbling  and I start feeling this conviction overcome me. I felt God telling me to turn that junk off and fill your heart with something real right now. I grabbed my Ipod and put it immediately to some JesusCulture, worshiping as emphatically in my car. It's amazing to feel how when your heart has had a change for God, your emotions and heart, become raw and tender to what He draws you to. Let's be honest here, if God would allow us to listen to that type of music, for example, then we would't have any problem blaring it, rapping all gangsta G in your car. But no, God whispers something simple to turn your heart away from it, puts inside of you an emotion that says, no, this is not right. d

And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.
~Ezekiel 36:26 NLT
