Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God.  It can help remove the weighted-down heart from sorrow, and can give the blessings of hope for the future.

 

Good music can be one of the most beautiful, and perfect ways of expressing love for one another and encouraging us together, to lift our eyes, hearts and souls to God. 

​

Music, as stated in the scriptures, helps train us in the practice of remembering who God is and what he has done. All throughout the Psalms, and even in the New Testament letters to the church, there are genuine commands and exaltations for God’s people to sing and tell of his wonderful deeds, and thus remind ourselves, with the power of song, who God is, what he has done, and how he keeps his promises.

 

Studies have also shown that music can lower stress and increase pleasure.  It can improve heart and breathing rates, as well as lowering anxiety and pain.  Music has also helped people suffering from depression and sadness. What a wonderful God-given gift.

 

Through beautiful music and acts of kindness, our influence can be felt in many different ways and circumstances within our homes, communities and our country.
