A “through the bible” devotion from 1 Samuel 16.
Music is powerful. The rhythm makes you tap your foot. Certain songs make you well up with tears. Others you can’t help but sing along with. Some tunes like the national anthem or wedding processional bring everyone to their feet.
My sister studied music therapy in college. We used to kid her that if someone wasn’t feeling well she would know exactly what piano tune would make them feel better. (I know, I know, it’s a teaching tool.)
But it works that way for King Saul.
“Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him” (1 Samuel 16:23).
David’s melodies changed the mood of the room. The lyrics brought God’s power and promises to mind. Worship replaced worry.
I could use some of that. Daily. I’m grateful for Christian music radio.
Waite for it...
