Read through the Bible in 2 Years: 1 Samuel 16

When the harmful spirit was tormenting Saul, music would refresh him. I have experienced first hand the power that music has over me. It can make me feel anxious or peaceful, excited or restful.

Lyrics, too, have such power. Memorizing lyrics to a song is so much easier than a paragraph of text of a similar length. What lyrics do you want stuck in your head? A jingle from some obnoxious commercial you saw on TV last night or a psalm, hymn, or spiritual song?

This is why my advent book features two songs every day. In fact, I created an Advent Playlist on YouTube to accompany it.

For the next month, pay attention to the songs running through your head and what impact they have on your thoughts and your mood.
