“Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health. God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don’t throw me out with the trash, or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails! Give me a job teaching rebels your ways so the lost can find their way home. Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your praise.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭51‬:‭7‬-‭15‬ ‭MSG‬‬

The italicized part of today’s scripture has inspired me to call today Tune In Tuesday. I am not musically talented but God uses music to inspire and encourage me. Often I have felt God’s nudge when listening to music. Julie and I often share links to songs that underscore the message we are trying to convey.

What about you? Is there a certain genre of music you are drawn to that draws you closer to God? Is there a specific song that you turn to for hope and encouragement? What are your go-to, foot-tapping songs?

Spend some time this morning tuning in to God. Like the person in today’s photo, take some time apart from the busy world to reminisce about music and specific songs that God has used to speak to you. Search YouTube for songs and listen for a few minutes. Allow the music and words to draw you closer to God as you “tune in” to God’s message for you individually. What is God saying to you today?
