MY DAYS START PRETTY GOOD

My drive from home to work is about 20 minutes, so of course I’m listening to LIFE 100.3 in the car. While I listen to make sure things are staying on course, I’m also drawn in as a listener, using LIFE as I hope our listeners do.

So, LIFE is on. If I haven’t spent time with God in the morning, the songs on the radio are a perfect start to my day. They act like a trigger to being in a good place with God.

I hear about 5 songs on my way to work and the words to Christian songs encourage me. If it isn’t the first song, it’s, for sure, the second song. These songs remind me that I’m a Christian. They remind me about forgiveness - maybe someone I need to forgive. Christian music reminds me that God is bigger than my problems. They remind me of the beauty around me. And overall, these songs remind me that I’m alive!

These songs remind me, at that very moment, of my goal to be a Godly guy. I need the reminder. If I substitute secular music for very long, I get sucked into a lot of junk, and then the goal of being a Godly guy is forgotten.

Sometimes, when I’m having an off day, and feel somewhat gloomy, for some reason I don’t want to hear about God. Why is that? I’ve even turned the music off because those songs remind me of who I am not and when I feel unGodly, I don’t want to be reminded of that.

But I DO need to reminded of that. In those gloomy moments I need to hear that God is bigger than a crappy, gloomy moment.

And, that’s why I love Christian music. It keeps my thoughts in line with God.
