Music has always been one of the most important things to me, and when I started following Jesus it became even more important to me. I didn't even know that was possible...but God is always doing crazy things, ya know. I became a Christian a little over a year ago, and since then I've learned that I feel God so much through music, whether it's worship music or not. It's become one of my favorite things about existing.
I was super uninspired to write an article this week. It's been a rough couple of days trying to let go of things that I'm trying to put way in my past. And then this song that I've been pretty obsessed with for the past few days came on. Its called "Pressing on" by United Pursuit. For the first time, I really listened to the lyrics. The song says "let go to hold on" and I felt like God was directly saying it to me...Telling me that I need to fully let go of all the things that bring me farther away from Him. It definitely turn my whole day around, knowing that God was there to comfort me through music, one of my favorite things on the whole world!
I have been fortunate enough to be a part of the worship team at my home church and the worship team at my church here in Ohio. Sunday morning worship service's are probably my favorite part of the week. Oh man. God's presence is so noticeable and He does such incredible things during worship. I love being able to use my musical abilities to glorify God and playing the drums as an offering to Him. Even if I'm not playing, and I'm simply part of the congregation, He never fails to move in my heart. Lifting my hands to God and giving everything to Him is one of the best feelings. I don't even know how to describe the feeling, so maybe I shouldn't be trying to write this article, but oh well. I hope my lack of perfect words to describe what I'm trying to says drives home the point that God is just indescribable.
Im so thankful for the ways that God speaks to me. He's a smart guy...Using music to talk to me is probably the best option. I'm looking forward to continuing to build my relationship with God, if it's always going to be as rad as this.
