spiritual songs

These things have been full in my heart for the last few months.

As mentioned in the previous post, it's just wonderful when we sing in tongues and in understanding (known language) from our heart... just praises to God, and what is on His Heart. I learnt that He is always pleased when we praise Him in Spirit and in truth, because this reaches Him as a sweet smelling offering. It's so easy to just "enter into His Presence" - here the younger of my 2 younger brothers would disagree with me and say we "become more aware of His Presence". Well i won't disagree with Him... to me it's a different way of saying the same thing... Anyway, this is my blog...haha...

So back to my point. It's easy when i sing songs from my heart. I remember when i was travelling in this old bone-shaker of a taxi down the hills in another nation. I sang the whole way down - a total of 2-3 hours- song after song, almost not caring whether it bothered the cab-driver or the other 3 passengers i was with. Probably not. They sang with me sometimes, and at other times, they kept silent, or even fell asleep. Not the driver of course... (grin). There was a period of time the radio was on - the driver was not a believer, and my voice was competing with the radio and naturally, the road noises. I still remember the driver vividly - it's been 5 months now. He spoke some Chinese, so that's how we communicated.

The roads were pretty dangerous, and at points, even treacherous, and we chanced upon an accident between a car and a motor-cyclist. I believe the motor-cyclist died. I had this strong sense that God was having me sing so that there would not be fear in us, or at least me. I really don't know for sure. I just know that there was a purpose in me singing. But to say that my singing brought the protection of God upon all of us seems really far-fetched.

So... i'll stick with saying there was a purpose in me singing... and there was a peace and a boldness that i remember when i sang. Usually i'm a sensitive person in that i will not impose on others. I mean if i knew that my singing disturbed others, i will just shut up. Well, that time was different...

We reached our destination that evening after travelling for almost 8 hours, safe. Tired, shaken to the bone in the car, but safe. Praise the Lord.
