Sometimes, we’re a hot mess. Whether our co-workers are stressing us out, the house is a disaster, the kids are particularly belligerent, the car broke down, or we find ourselves downright heartbroken again, the right Jesus song can help take our focus off of ourselves, put it back on Him, and renew our strength.
Music is pretty amazing like that. It can lift you out of a moment or help you more fully connect with the moment—and it seems like songs that focus on Jesus can do both at the same time! What is it about hymns, worship music, praise songs, etc., that’s so special? I’m not sure of all the answers to that question, but I do think it goes back to how anything that puts my focus on God helps lift and align the rest of my life. Worship helps us find our center again. It puts the spotlight back on the main focus of our lives. And it just helps us get off the struggle train!
