It's In The Training

2 Kings 12:2 MSG "Taught and trained by Jehoiada the priest, Joash did what pleased God for as long as he lived."

 

I absolutely love my son. Sometimes I just look at him and smile because at three years old he is a world of excitement, adventure, and curiosity. Not a care in the world, but the future of hope for his generation.

Children are spectacular! The possibilities are endless as to what they can become or do in and with their lives! They just need the training!

Its In The Music

2 Kings 3:14 MSG "Elisha said, "As God-of-the-Angel-Armies lives, and before whom I stand ready to serve, if it weren't for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I wouldn't give you the time of day. But considering—bring me a minstrel." (When a minstrel played, the power of God came on Elisha.)"

 

Music. The language of our generation. We are in a time where there are so many genres and thousands of songs coming out every year. As a matter of fact most of TVs top shows have to do about music: American Idol, The Voice, Singing Bee, Americas Got Talent, and more. Channels are dedicated specifically to the music, channels like MTV, BET, CMT, & even the Radio Channels. Rarely will you see a teenager in America without headphones on or around their neck. Even as I write this blog I am listening to music from my iPhone on Pandora Application. Music? Yes I think its become a big deal.

With such a high infiltration of music does it have any influence on our behaviors, feelings, direction?

Flawless

Song of Solomon 4:7 "You're beautiful from head to toe, my dear love, beautiful beyond compare, absolutely flawless."

Have you ever read the book of Song of Solomon? Have you ever got confused or thought man that's a book for married couples, what is that doing in the bible?

When really this is a book totally about the Love of God! And oh how He loves you!
