today's notes is a reprint from the Tuesday's Musical Notes email of June 11, 2011.
It's Tuesday Time!!! And time for another Tuesday's Musical Notes. Where the music of our age is utilized to ignite your passion for music, inspire your spirit to commune with His spirit or be introduced to a God who desires a restored relationship with you.
Tuesday's Musical Notes or The News? Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth? Traditional or Contemporary? Coke or Pepsi? These are all questions that depend on peoples preferences. They seem silly when written down, but much has been said and written, sometimes rather forcefully, about what is the favorite soft drink, what style of music is better in the church, and who was the best lead singer of Van Halen .....though probably not in the same article...
The Notes has chronicled the exploits of the brothers Van Halen once before: Tuesday's Musical Notes - "Right Now", but here's another little something to help you decide the answer to at least one of the above questions:
"Dreams" - The Blue Angels with an assist by Van Halen
On occasion, we have the opportunity to be at home alone. While these are restful days, they certainly are not normal. They are times of reflection that we cherish as they happen so rarely. We find ourselves focusing on the dreams that we have for each of our children. When they were born, we were dreaming of their health and our ability to afford to provide for their needs. As they grew, we were dreaming of their education and our ability to afford to provide for their needs. While they aren't completely grown, we still have dreams for them. The whole ability to afford providing for their needs is a dream in transition. While we have tried to help them seek out God's dreams for their lives as they have grown, our entire family has come to a point where the faith and trust we have in God's dreams can easily be tested. During those testing times we rely on a very familiar passage of scripture, Jeremiah 29:11-13, where God tells the prophet of His dream for Israel's future. His words are those of someone who has intense dreams and desires for the absolute best that can be given to his children. The Message paraphrase of this passage puts it like this:
I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. 12"When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. 13-14"When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed."
This is the dream of a loving Father for the nation He chose and a promise to those who have choose to accept His gift of Jesus. How confidently can we go about our lives, and watching our children's lives, having the knowledge that this promise applies to us as long as we get out of the way and allow God's dreams for us to come to fruition.
"And in the end, on dreams we will depend, 'cause that's what love is made of" ........regardless of the video.....our answer to the questions above...Tuesday's Musical Notes, Contemporary, Coke, and David Lee Roth
'Til Tuesday
Serving HIM by serving you,
Randy
