feeling the music.

i was lucky enough to attend Bayview SS's finale concert of the year tonight, and yes i went to right venue this time. Once again at the concert, i was reminded of how powerful music could be and how emotions can be expressed oh so very clearly through the notes, the melody, and the dynamics.

One piece stood out to me. The grade 9 band did a piece about a train chase, involving the railway bells, the hooting, the steam, and while listening to it, it really came to life for me. For once i was moved, and i could feel the music. When the train got faster and faster, when there was the thrill and the suspense, i felt the music. You know its good, powerful music when you can feel it like that. Unlike anything i've experienced before. Feeling the raw power of musical expression.

At the same time, you know that your relationship with Christ is strong when you can feel it, like the music. Similar to the previous, i myself still haven't felt that push, that power. His love, his life, his sacrifice and his greatness. When you have built a strong, genuine relationship with God, you should be able to feel him in every footstep, you should see him in every opportunity.

can you feel our loving God like you feel the music?
are you working towards the relationship with him?

verse of the day: 2 Timothy 3:14-17

¹⁴ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, ¹⁵ and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,¹⁷ so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
