Last night was the Grammy's. We did not watch as they go way to late for us. This morning, I took a quick peek at the winners. True confession... didn't know many of the songs except in the Christian Contemporary and Country categories... a few in pop/solo. Still, I am reminded that this is the music that makes up the soundtrack of our lives.
I remember movies like Ghostbusters, Footloose, Pretty Woman and Karate Kid as much for their soundtracks as the movies themselves. Dirty Dancing and Grease... can sing along with them all. Music is from the soul.
I have to keep this short this morning, so I want to challenge you to consider the music that makes the soundtrack of your life and make a quick list. I will make you smile.
For a special group of Jr. High Students this weekend, it is the music of "Beauty and the Beast". For some Grammy winners - it will be "that song". For those who get engaged in the next few weeks around Valentine's Day... the song playing on the way home will be remembered.
Music. It fills our lives, from soft drink commercials to hymns of worship. I keep a list of "Soul Songs"... I have since my sister died. They are the current songs that lift my spirits, make me smile or call forth the tears I need to cry. Yes... music matters.
This scripture reminds me to remember who I am singing for with each break of day.
"Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you mighty rulers! For I will sing to the Lord. I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel." -Judges 5:3
I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel. Love that!
Zach Williams "Chain Breaker" has been a favorite of mine this year. Was thrilled to see it was honored.
Today, I am grateful for the music that makes the soundtrack of our lives.
