It’s an amazing thing how music can impact your life. The wrong kind of music can lead you to self destruction and depression. The right kind of music can lift your spirit and motivate you. I don’t know about you but music is absolutely fascinating to me. The fact that one single song can change my mood is amazing to me. Why do you think this is? How is it possible that music can have such a great impact in us sometimes without us even realizing it?

Music is an art; it’s a melody, its sound. One of the first things kids learn to do is dance to music. This is no coincidence though; it’s the way God created us. It’s the way He designed us. God created us as musical beings; He created us to make music for Him

Over the years I’ve come to realize that there is a lot more to music than meets the eye. I can worship God while at work as I hum my very favorite worship song. There is absolutely nothing wrong in singing your favorite song to God, one that an artist inspired by God wrote. Hear me out though, how awesome would it be to write your own song to God? If God gave us these creative minds and abilities why not put them to use? I like to write songs and put music to them. This is one of my favorite things to do for God. I figure if someone can right everyday about how much they love a boy and how he doesn’t love her back, why can’t we write songs to God everyday and share those? A song that will help someone get closer to God when they are going through the most difficult of situations.

So write Him a special song, doesn’t have to be something elaborate or complicated. Just something that comes from the heart. Share this song with your church and your friends and let God use you musically. Here are 5 verses that speak of this:
1. Psalm 40:3
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD. (NIV)
2. Psalm 96:1
Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Psalm 96:1-3 (NIV)
3. Psalm 98:1
Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
Psalm 98:1-3 (NIV)
4. Psalm 144:9
I will sing a new song to you, O God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you, (NIV)
5. Psalm 33:3
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. (NIV)
