A Certain Sound
Monday, November 23rd, 2009“There are many voices and none of them are without significance.” The Apostle Paul
A godly woman shared an encouraging story with me last week. She said that for years she had difficulty sleeping at night. Medication gave her bad dreams and she had tried other remedies as well. Then she put on some of my instrumental music to listen to. I saw the light in her eyes as, with gratitude, she told me how the Peace of God in those recordings helped her to sleep deeply and rest well.
I was also blessed as she told me that there was a “certain sound” that she heard from the Holy Spirit in my music- whether instrumental or vocal.
I think of it as a gift from God and as “honey from the rock.” The Word tells us to comfort others with the comfort that we ourselves have been comforted with. Honey is sweet; a rock is a hard place. I believe that the Spirit of God has poured some sweetness in the music He gives me that is made more effective by the marinating process of the adversity I have experienced.
Let me hasten to add that I know that I am a blessed man. All of us have trials and all of us have access through Jesus to Unfailing Love- God our Father. I am so glad that God is a Redeemer!
I think the sound my friend hears is ultimately the Song of her Father singing over her. Listen!! You can hear Him too!
Godrest and Godspeed!
