Good Sabbath Brothers and Sisters,
"And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him." - 1 Samuel 16:23
The right music can heal you or bring you to a calming state of peace. King Saul requested from Jesse, that his young son, David, come and play music for him when he was being tormented by bad spirits,
"Research shows the benefits of music therapy for various mental health conditions, including depression, trauma, and schizophrenia (to name a few). Music acts as a medium for processing emotions, trauma, and grief--but music can also be utilized as a regulating or calming agent for anxiety or for dysregulation." (Molly Warren, NAMI)
"The Power of Song. --The history of the songs of the Bible is full of suggestion as to the uses and benefits of music and song. Music is often perverted to serve purposes of evil, and it thus becomes one of the most alluring agencies of temptation. But, rightly employed, it is a precious gift of God, designed to uplift the thoughts to high and noble themes, to inspire and elevate the soul." - EGW Education, pp. 167
With such an effective gift as music let us choose for ourselves and our family music which heals and soothes the soul!
May God bless your journey to good health,
Sandra Torres
