The Music Of Heaven

Contributed by Glenn Dale Pease on Aug 29, 2014

Many of us feel pathetic in our ability to sing, and even more so with our ability to produce music. We can easily envy those to whom it comes easy.

God gives peace before the battle, speaks identity before performance, and empowers fearful people through His presence, not their strength.

Most of us assume peace comes after things change. After the diagnosis is clear. After the conflict is resolved. After the money situation stabilizes. After the fear finally loosens its grip. We tell ourselves, “I’ll have peace when the battle is over.” But the story of Gideon opens with a ...read more
