It's so true when people say music is good for the soul. For about 2 months now Dustin and I have been listening to nothing but Christian music. I really don't know how I ever made it through my days at work before but now that I'm constantly listening to uplifting songs about How Great Our God is my days are so much better. For a couple of weeks JJ and Ron on 91.7 in the mornings have been talking about the song Revelation Song. They kept saying that were amazed when they found at that the lady ,Jennie Lee Riddle, that wrote the song is a mother (of I think 4 children) andGod gave her the lyrics while she was cooking spaghetti and changing diapers. The song, as Ron said, that makes your hair stand up on your arms while singing was written by a mother in the middle of her motherly duties! I listened to their interview with her this morning. She started to explain that while she was cooking and struggling with life's battles she asked God to give her a song that doesn't point out what's going on but focuses completely on Him. She wanted no focus on herself! Did He not do just that? I couldn't help but tear up this morning listening to her talk about it. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain Holy Holy is He. When I hear this I picture a wide open field with the perfect breeze and beautiful flowers. Jennie talked about this same thing in the interview, we would think that the person that wrote this song had some out of this world experience and that's where the lyrics came from but what we don't realize is our God is big enough to use the smallest situation for His glory. Jennie brought out another very true point. She explained that worship isn't a song. Worship is a lifestyle. It's our daily steps of love and obedience to God. We don't have to just be in a church to worship God. Yes God calls us to gather together with other believes to fellowship and worship Him this is very important but that shouldn't be where it stops. It's so sad that that may be the only time some people worship Him. God deserves our praise where ever we are no matter what! We complain about so many things. I complain about so many things. What a shame that is that I took up time to complain or drag around when I could have been worshipping God in it and received such a blessing! God help me to seek your presence and worship You no matter where I am. Help me to look for ways to serve You in everything I do! Thank You for using this very special lady to write this song and speak to the hearts of many people with this testimony of Your love and presence!
