Strength for Today, Bright Hope for Tomorrow July 7, 2008

Ever since Melissa prompted me to think about songs that have been defining my summer, this one has been coming up on my Ipod alot.  I’ve always loved Fernando Ortega, and this is one of my favorite hymns ever.

Music is such an important part of my life and worship of God.  Any kind of music really.  Whether it is a hymn or a secular song, I can almost always find something that prompts me to worship.  It may just be a catchy tune that quickens my step a little bit and makes me laugh.  That is a reason for worship and a gift from God.  I often listen to music while I’m walking in the mornings around the neighborhood.  Every now and then I get this urge to bust out a move and dance down the street.  I don’t of course, because my neighbors would think I’m crazy.  Maybe they already do, and it wouldn’t matter.

This song has popped on my Ipod lately when I’ve been walking and praying or driving and praying about circumstances and situations beyond my control.  I think it’s God’s reminder to me to trust him.  Almost like God is singing in my ear.
