Music has incredible power. It has the ability to change a person’s mood, to literally chase away an evil spirit of depression and discouragement. We see this firsthand from the example of Saul’s life from I Samuel.

We get glimpses into the troubled life of Saul throughout his reign. He started so well, but he had a rebellious spirit and didn’t do things the way God wanted them done. Because of that, God’s presence left him; and he was left to deal with depression, discouragement, and what the Bible calls a tormenting spirit. His mind was deeply troubled with paranoia, jealousy, rage, and more. Interestingly enough, those closest to him recognized it for what it was and recommended a solution: music. Music was the solution to his tormenting thoughts. Music was so strong, it could beat back the forces of evil that were at play in Saul’s mind.

The Power of Music

Thousands of years later, music still hast incredible power over us. Have you ever been discouraged, depressed, really struggling, and just the right worship song came on? We’ve all had that happen. There is power in music…the right kind of music. There is power in music that lifts the name of Jesus in our homes and in our cars.

I’ve seen this firsthand in my own life and family life. There are times when everybody is cranky, fighting with each other, and just plan ornery. We will turn on K-Love in the car, and suddenly, that bad mood starts to dissipate. What takes its place is humming, singing, and a spirit of calm.

There is incredible power in music–both good and bad. If you want to change the tone in your home, change bad attitudes, and add a spirit of peace, music is the way to do it. There are spiritual forces for both evil and good at play every day in our homes. There are days when heaviness, fear, and depression surround us and make us feel too much. When that happens, we have to first spend time with God through our morning time routine. That’s the most important thing we can do. Second to that is to put on good music. It has the power to beat back the darkness and bring peace.
