“All music jars when the soul’s out of tune.” Miguel de CervantesI don’t remember what upset me. Had someone said something to me, or had I said something to someone else and was under conviction to apologize? Maybe someone (even me) had not measured up to my expectations. Was I running late for an appointment, or was it merely the evening’s traffic?
In those days it wasn’t second nature to turn my thought to God for comfort. Even today, I’m sorry to say, it’s still too often a last resort. Yet, it always works. It always calms, putting my problems into perspective. As my sister used to say, “In light of all eternity, how important it is?” Do you get distracted when your problems are weighing you down? Can music sometimes be annoying? What can you do to calm the problems you are facing today? Lord, when I strive to find some earthly means to quiet my mind, remind me again that You are the true source of peace and serenity. Amen “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10. Or, as the New American Standard version translates Psalm 46:10, “Cease striving and know that I am God.”
