“And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.” 1 Sam 16:23
It’s said that music is the prayer the heart sings. Nothing connects the moment like music. It brings you back or more importantly it brings truth forward. The music that Saul heard did for him what he could not do on his own, focus on the Lord. The music wasn’t magical, but it was moving for his mind, heart and will to see what he had been missing. The music got him to where he needed to be which was in the presence of the Lord, then his soul was refreshed by the Lord’s presence and not the performer. Acts 3:19 tells us the refreshing of the spirit lies only in the presence of the Lord. But don’t get lost in the performance and miss the purpose, David was instrumental (no pune intended) in getting Saul where he needed to be back focused on the truths of God. Like Jesus temptation, it was the word (truth) Jesus spoke that rebuked Satan and made him depart from him. The emotions of music itself can run empty but God’s promises prevail eternally, that’s the only thing that will truly renew, rejuvenate and refresh your soul.
Entering his presence and praising his truth, invites him to enter your circumstances with his power.
