Isaiah: 42:10 Sing a new song to the Lord!
When your heart is heavy and the world is crashing down on you sing a new song to the Lord. It doesn't matter what you sound like. It doesn't even matter if you sing in the right key. What matters is you sing. I know it is hard to sing positive songs about God or to God when things are not the way you want them to be but sing anyway.
Saul the great king of Israel had emotional and mental problems. He didn't call for the local psychiatrists. He called for a young man named David to play a pleasant song on his harp. The bible doesn't indicate how long David played his harp for the depressed king but we do know it had a healing affect on the king.
Music is a powerful instrument for healing. Music can also reflect confusion and damage emotional stability. The music you pick to listen to plays an extremely important roll in your emotional, spiritual, and mental health.
When you are discouraged, listen to positive praise orient music. Find a song, which focuses on the goodness of God. If you happen to feel emotional upset listen to music, which focuses on the power of God to heal. If you will use music as a healing instrument, you will find it works.
Sing a new song to the Lord. Write a song. Try writing your own praise song. Write a song that reflects the goodness of God and who you are in Jesus. You are a winner in Christ Jesus. Write winners songs. Music is so very important in your spiritual growth and peace of mind. Let me encourage you to sing and new song.
Prayer Focus: Dear Lord today I am going to change my listening habits in music. My Lord, I want my music to help in the healing process. Lord, I give my music to you.
