Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.

Psalm 57:1

Veterans Day

Just a thought: While it is appropriate to be thankful and remember those who have given their lives for our freedom as well as those who continue to serve, let’s not forget those “spiritual veterans” who have gone before us. Scripture tells us that our remembrance of those who have served the Lord before us should stir us to “lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and…run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith….”

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,
the world and those who dwell therein,
for he has founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.

Psalm 24:1-2

The Purpose of Music

Just thought I’d share this quote from J.S. Bach, from his instruction to some of his students. He said that the purpose of music…

…can be nothing else but the glory of God and the restoration of the heart. Where this is not the case there is no real music but only a demonic noise.

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turns the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.

Psalm 114:7-8
