In today’s world, it is easy to get distracted or even pulled away from God’s word. We allow things we hear to enter our lives, which over time can shape and even change our beliefs. As Christians, it is important to keep most of what we hear is focused on the Lord, so our beliefs on the one true God doesn’t fade.
“But I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; for God is my defense, the God of my mercy.” (Psalm 59:16)
It’s interesting how our minds react to music. It can change our mood, uplift our day, and give us inspiration.
It doesn’t take long for the lyrics to stick in our minds, we can remember the words to a song better than what we’ve read or heard on podcasts.
“Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to the Lord with the voice of triumph! For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth … Sing praises to God, sing praises! … For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with understanding.” (Psalm 47:1,6)
I can still remember the words to the songs we sang in Sunday school many years ago. Some how the lyrics to the songs live in our minds for a lifetime. Gospel songs are filled with scripture and God’s own words.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; talk of all His wondrous works. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord. Seek the Lord and His strength, seek His face evermore. Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth …” (Psalm 105:1-5)
Gospel music is filled with the words of the Lord. It is the greatest reason to listen to it. They proclaim the truth from the Bible itself.
