Can’t Get The Tune Out Of My Head

April 9, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Deuteronomy 31:21
And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    All too often, you will hear someone say, “It is only music” or “What harm might that do, it is just a song?” For some reason, people do not believe music makes a big impact on our lives or on what we think or do. Today we hear many “so-called” musicians who sing of killing, suicide, drugs, immoral relationships, and the list goes on and on. Do you think this will not affect the way we might think if this evil message in the song is played over and over again? Moreover, it is not just Rap, Rock, or Pop music. All forms of music have jumped on the sing about sin bandwagon. It is not just the latest and so-called greatest. It has been going on for a while. Still, people think, “Well what can this hurt, it is just a song, right?”

 

    Well, it does not matter what you or I think. What matters most is how God looks at the role of music in our lives. By looking at just one verse, we see God knew back in Moses’ time, (and I am sure before) music affects the thinking and memories of the Children of Israel. God did not ask Moses to write another book, paint a picture, or build a monument. A book might not be read, a picture can only be in one place, and a monument never leaves its location. However, a song, that people hear, remember, and take it with them in their hearts forever.

  

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

    Do you still think music never affects you? Then what do you think of when you read this? “JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW…” Yes, we learned that favorite chorus as a child. Read it again, “JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW…” Now, that will be stuck in your head for a while. You see, music and lyrics make a big difference in our lives. 

 

What are you going to feed your heart today?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and today’s Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
