Psalm

Psalms 13:1-6 How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [Having] sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me? Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the [sleep of] death; Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him"; [Lest] those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Do we live a calculated life or a life which looks to God

In human transactions we tend to calculate our communication with each other. This is a place we do not need to go to. Why?? As humans our calculations carry with it EGO - the great self and there is so much moving that happens in the emotions and we tend to forget justice of God. Justice is of God and he holds all knowledge - the only qualification needed to judge rightly.

Lean on the cross- a place misunderstood by men, a place where wisdom of God is revealed, a place where the all sufficient God meets a needing man.

some of the best quotes on music by some of the best Christians



Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart.
    Author: Henry Ward Beecher


There need not be in religion, or music, or art, or love, or goodness, anything that is against reason; but never while the sun shines will we get great religion, or music, or art, or love, or goodness, without going beyond reason.
    Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick


Every saint in heaven is as a flower in the garden of God, and holy love is the fragrance and sweet odor that they all send forth, and with which they fill the bowers of that paradise above. Every soul there is as a note in some concert of delightful music, that sweetly harmonizes with every other note, and all together blend in the most rapturous strains in praising God and the Lamb forever.
    Author: Jonathan Edwards



My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
    Author: Martin Luther



Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.
    Author: Martin Luther



The devil does not stay where music is.
    Author: Martin Luther


Next to theology I give to music the highest place and honor. And we see how David and all the saints have wrought their godly thoughts into verse, rhyme, and song.
    Author: Martin Luther


Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy, for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts.
    Author: Martin Luther


Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.    Author: Thomas Fuller
Secular music, do you say, belongs to the devil? Does it? Well, if it did I would plunder him for it, for he has no right to a single note of the whole seven. Every note, and every strain, and every harmony is divine, and belongs to us.    Author: William Booth



The devil, the originator of sorrowful anxieties and restless troubles, flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God....Music is a gift and grace of God, not an invention of men. Thus it drives out the devil and makes people cheerful. Then one forgets all wrath, impurity, and other devices.”
― Martin Luther

Martin Luther
“A person who...does not regard music as a marvelous creation of God, must be a clodhopper indeed and does not deserve to be called a human being; he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs."

[Foreward to Georg Rhau's (1488-1548) Collection Symphoniae iucundae, 1538]”
― Martin Luther
“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.” 
― Albert Einstein
