God in all He creates

I am continually asking why certain things are important to me, looking at the value of these and seeing if the ranking order i place them in my life is right.

Music is a HUGE place in my life, i cant play anything other than a CD, i can only press play on the computer, or que at the doors to listen live to others play. But i feel its deep than i know or understand.

As you know, or have read, i saw MUSE recently in london, and until that day i have never been able to put into words what music does to me. And from that i can only basically frame something to work on.

Music for me reaches my soul and makes my heart pump faster, this isnt the trill of the bass alone, but i am starting to see, or feel, this is as God. The Holy Spirit does indeed move in mysterious ways! For me to be faced with a beautiful song, tune or melody is seeing a new glimpse of God.

How do i explain this?! I believe we are created in the image of God, we, although still sinful, have elements which are given by God. These skills are represent God, these gifts show me how God IS here and NOW!

How can i ever say God is not real, i meet with him daily, in a guitar solo, in a voice crying out in song, the beat of the bass vibrating.

This is something i wish everyone can know, knowing the very alive God. For he does indeed smile on us.

not sure what i will say...

so i have noticed i havent really said much on here lately, mostly been in awe of MUSE.

still am really, just a truely beautiful album.

Still on the MUSE line... their 6th track 'invincible'...
This track just plain and simply gives me the vision of the church.
The song lyics are
'there is no one like you in the universe' (God?),
'dont be afaid of what you think stand up for what you believe for tonight we are invincible', 'please use this chance to say what we truely know', what ever they say your soul is unbreakable',
'tearing the struggle, they will pull us down, but please please lets use this chance to turn this around, for tonight we can say together we are invincible'

This is just a quick listen and type job, but the message it simple.

While it might have been writen for a couple, a partnership but i can only hear how a group of people who with the power of the holy spirit can stand united under God. Something which can never be broken. It has been the sunday school aniversary this past weekend at my church, the theme had been living in harmony, this is indeed a difficult place to be. Harmony is something we can not really grasb as sinful natured humans, selfishness is our centre. But within our churches we can start to build up each other to be in harmony with each other, helping one another to see the good and help the wrong be righted for the true to continually set us free. For this to then spead into our communities and the world!

The Church needs to stand united in God, in the harmony He can bring, for my tonight we say we are truely invincible!
