Turn it up!!

Ok well today is the day that I'm supposed to post; at least I'm timely today! ^_^ The only problem is that I don't know what I should post about. So I'm just going to start typing and see what comes out, mmk?

It's amazing how much music can effect your mood isn't it? I remember that when I felt sad or angry, listening to certain types of music (which will remain nameless.. >_<) would either help me stay in that mood, or help me feel even worse. But what I realized was, I never seem to remember that music can also help put you in a really good mood; even help you to come out of a bad mood. I know that music helps you also to praise God.

Psalms 87:7
At all the festivals, the people will sing, "The source of my life is in Jerusalem!"

Psalms 92:1
It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High,

Psalms 95:2
Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.

Psalms 98:4
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;

Psalms 108:1
My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul.

I've found that listening to cheerful music helps me to stay focused on God, and not get sidetracked but despair, anger, or depression. In a way, it helps me to do what God wants, because I'm not bogged down in fear, doubt, or worry (especially if I'm listening to a really good christian song).

So my advice for you iiiis: try to listen to more upbeat, uplifting music this week!! Perhaps you'll find that you're less depressed, or more productive!

Have a good week!! ^_^
