How I Worship…
Nothing brings me into the realm of worship quicker than music. It
reaches deep into my being and causes me to think of God the creator of all things good. The source of strength when I need to know I am not alone; the source of happiness when I am celebrating; and the source of courage when courage is what is needed. Above all else, the source of peace when life is difficult and I am wondering how I will be able to take the next breath. Music of one kind or another seems to run continually in my brain. It might be a familiar hymn or a love song from years past. It might be a song I learned at camp or a children’s ditty I learned as a child and then taught to my children. Or sometimes someone will say something that reminds me of a portion of a song and I find a short phrase of a song popping into my mind and sometimes out of my mouth.
Music is food for my soul and draws me out of “this world” and into a state of awareness of how close my Lord is to me.
Music to me is a gift and a blessing and I am always grateful for this gift.
Blessings,
Amber Coburn
