What Song Are You Listening To?

When I was growing up, if I was in the car with my dad, the radio was on and we were singing with every song that came on. If we were in the grocery store and he wanted to sing a song about buying toilet paper, he sang it! He would make up songs about whatever came to mind or, if someone said something like, "I feel good," yep, we would break out with our best James Brown...don't deny it, you just did the same thing!

I can hear a song and it will immediately take me back....I Feel Good, I Love Beach Music, Great Balls of Fire, Junk Yard Dog, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Take Me Back, Through It All, My Tribute, Soon and Very Soon...it takes me back to walks on the beach with my dad, riding in the back of a truck with my brothers going to the beach, going to softball games, little league games and Granite Lake and it makes me smile. I hear classical music and my mind drifts to going to sleep beside my mom when dad worked third shift. She would set the timer on the clock radio to 60 minutes and I'd drift off to sleep to Bach. And do you know what I drift off to when I fly? You got it, classical. 

I'm guessing you're wondering where this is going and I'm going to tell you right now. Just as these songs elicit memories that make me smile, there are also the songs that, if I'm not careful, I'll play over and over in my mind that do not elicit smiles but questions about who I am. We all do it. We'll tune into R.E.G.R.E.T radio and we'll listen to the top 6 countdown...I Wish I Had, I Shoulda, I Could Have Done it Better, I'll Never Make It, I'm Not Good Enough, and, my personal favorite, What If. The main problem with R.E.G.R.E.T radio, is that is owned and operated by the enemy of our soul, Satan, and his desire is to get you to play these same songs over and over and over, until they become your only sound track and you can't hear what W.O.G.R...Word of God Radio...has to say.

W.O.G.R is playing tunes that uplift your soul and bring healing to the places that R.E.G.R.E.T radio doesn't want you to get healing for. Let's check out the top 10 songs on W.O.G.R!

10. Colossians 2:10 I am COMPLETE in Him Who is the head of all principality and power

9. Ephesians 2:5 I am ALIVE with Christ

8. Romans 8:2 I am FREE from the law of sin and death

7. Ephesians 1:4 / 1 Peter 1:16 I am holy and WITHOUT blame before Him in LOVE

6. Philippians 4:7 I have the PEACE of God that passes ALL understanding

5. 1 John 4:4 I HAVE the greater One living IN me; GREATER is He that is IN me than he that is in the world

4. Romans 5:17 I have received the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS and reign as a king in life by Christ Jesus

3. Ephesians 2:10 I AM God's workmanshsip, CREATED in Christ for good works

2. 2 Corinthians 5: I AM a NEW creature in Christ

1. Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we ARE more than conquerors through Him who LOVED us. For I am SURE that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor ANYTHING else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

This is only the top 10! There are many more scriptures in the Word of God that tell us who we are in Him! I encourage you today to take the time to press STOP on R.E.G.R.E.T radio and press PLAY on W.O.G.R! Let that station play on repeat and, trust me, He will continue to heal your heart and lift you up!
