Music is the universal language. We don’t need to understand the words to interrupt the way it makes us feel. Music evokes emotions. It makes you happy. It makes you sad. It lifts you up. It takes you down.

Music excites the senses. The taste of music to the ear can be sweet or bitter.

The same music and yet so different how the mind perceives it.  The sound of music to the mind is how you perceive your day, just like with this music evoking both extremes in one’s day happy and bright or sad and grey.

The touch of music is the way your body moves.

 …swaying hands

….snapping fingers

…tapping toes

….dancing feet

Even the earth moves with the sound of music…

Some would argue that music is an evil force working to destroy our society. I certainly agree there is corruption in some types of music, but not all music is wicked. Like all things, God placed the love of music within each of us as far back as the beginning of time.

“Why didn’t you tell me, so I could send you away with joy and singing to the music of tambourines and harps? ~Genesis 31:27

The Bible makes many references to music and I believe our God who loves music so must have wanted us to love it, too.  The power of music is really a beautiful thing. Come on now and feel that beat!
