A Symphony of Words

I often listen to a certain music artist when I slip into bed at night.  His music soothes and calms the inner person as I drift off to sleep.   I don’t know if the artist is a Christian, but his music is heavenly. 

The beauty of this man’s ability to create and play the piano is exceptional and a blessing.  Though it is a single person playing at times, it sounds like a symphony of music because of the beauty that he composed.

Usually, in the evening after a busy day, I kick back into my easy chair.  I try to bring my mind under subjection without the TV blasting in the background or other distractions that may be happening.  I just rest my mind from the challenges that the day brought.

As I listen to what is stirring in my mind, I jot down the thoughts as I focus on what is being revealed.  When I compose a writing from these thoughts, I pray that they will bless the heart of those that read my symphony of words that I posted to the blog I created.

From time to time, I receive a positive comment from a reader that my writings have encouraged them, which in return blesses me.  My desire is that people who read my writings will be touched in such a way that they are stimulated by the content that they might not otherwise hear or read.

My writings are not to condemn, chastise, or judge in any way, but to uplift and strengthen individuals needing encouragement, without all the hype of discrimination or condemnation.

I want to sooth, with words, the inner character of people that are searching for answers, like a symphony of music.  I try to bring peace to their soul if they are craving harmony.  I believe that God has a plan for everyone’s life, yet His direction can become clouded, like fog. 

My goal is to present the Prince of Peace, Jesus, into their world of “what ifs” and “if I should” regarding the route they should travel.  This requires a map.  The unknown is mysterious and a bit scary at times when a person cannot see what the future holds or what lies around the corner.

The Bible is my map, which helps me to find my way in foggy areas of life when directional signs are dimly lighted.  Detour signs could be a strategy of the enemy of our souls to send us off course from our intended safe place.   

What seems right, may, in fact, be the wrong direction because the path is dark, without proper lighting.  This is where the Bible comes into play.  It is like a flashlight or huge headlight that illuminates the way and provides peace of mind that the heading is the right direction.

(Psalm 119:105) “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

When I read the Bible, it is like music to my ears, received through the eye gate.  It is the inerrant Word of God, composed by holy men of old that were breathed upon by the Holy Spirit to produce a symphony of words that brings peace to the reader, while providing direction to whoever reads it.

I would encourage you to consume its truth, while you steal away to a place of solace and allow the words to bring a symphony of comfort to your soul.
