Can You Hear the Music?
I wish you could hear the music I'm hearing right now. It's been playing for about an hour and there's not much to it really but it's just very soothing. There are no words. I decided to see what key it was in. It's in the key of F, there are three chords, F, Bb and C. So far, that's all. The tempo is slightly syncopated and I'm not sure about the timing; it's either 6/8 or 4/4 and if you don't think they can sound like each other, google it.
Anyway, I don't write music in notes. I would have to have someone to help me with that. If I wrote it, at this point it would have no words, like I said, it's just three chords. Very monotonous, but also very pleasant.
I was not wanting to write words tonight because something a bit unpleasant had happened, that didn't really bother me that much but I was griping about it internally for quite a while. Does that ever happen to you? But with the music playing on the inside and no words wanting to be released about what I was griping about, it just became obvious that God was at work.
Now, I know that a lot of people do not like what I have been writing lately, and I know that the more I write about the Bible, Christianity, Faith and Jesus, the fewer people respond to what I write, but I am not writing to appeal to people, to just pass time or to find out what entertainment people might be interested in at the moment.
I write every day as an offering to God and whomever else might be interested in what God is doing.
No words, because I have no words for this but if I did, they would be something like, "Your peace is not like the peace that the world gives, the peace that You give is the real peace, peace that fulfills every need."
I have no words to describe the silliness that happened today and yesterday, and no words are necessary, and it's useless to dwell on it. It was just a very strange encounter on Facebook, that really did not surprise me, and yet I recognize it as an attack of the fiery darts intended to throw me off, but because of the peace I'm describing, a minor attack.
I guess I just needed to be reminded that the one who seeks to devour still tries to invade and tries to disrupt and tries to steal, kill and destroy.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8).
So, that's really all I have right now because I have to try to discipline myself to retire at a decent hour when I need to get up early in the morning. It seems like lately there are times when my body is telling me I need to get some rest, and I never seem to get enough, even though I have succeeded at waking up before the alarm goes off a few times in the past several days.
But do heed that instruction from God's word, because we are still in the battle, this world is still filled with unseen forces that want to hurt us and are not retreating by default, just because you went to church this morning, if you did. He has given us all we need to be victorious in this life, and yes, the music is still playing. Can you hear it?
