For the first time that I am aware of for many years, we had a choir presentation that drew a standing ovation. The eleven people who sang in the choir along with our bass guitarist, keyboardist, and drummer, created an atmosphere of worship that was amazing. People were excited to be in worship, open to an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and listening for the word of God.
Music, for whatever reason, moves people to a new level. Music is able to create an emotional opening that hears differently than ears, feels differently than hands, and understands differently than the congnitive brain. Perhaps that is part of the secret that the Psalmist knew and was trying to share with us at a time, that notes on a piece of paper were not comprehended. I encourage you to wonder into that place that only music can crack open, and experience the embrace of God in a new way this week.
