One thing I'd been thinking lately is "Why do I give so much value to music and not as much to the Bible?"

Now in no way do I mean to say that I don't value the Bible. I do think that it is God's word and that it is all that is needed for life on Christ. I think the Bible is authoritative and a source of hope and inspiration. A great great word of bad news and even greater good news.

But as I am right now, I go to Hillsong when I am in a bad mood, rather than to the Bible.

And I think there are some reasons for it, but I think I also do need to go to the Word of truth more, especially when the main reason I am feeling down is a lie that I am dwelling on too much.

The last time I was down I prayed for a second and then got to work on my homework. The only thing I can do then is to choose music to listen to while doing it. I often listen to anime or game original soundtracks when studying or cramming because it's usually something really intense. Haha. But the ones I'd been listening to recently had been pretty melancholy in tone. And I think I am easily affected by that. So I chose some music that'd make me feel better: Hillsong.

In addition to simply 'I don't have time, I need to multitask', I think another reason is that I really do typically connect to God a lot more deeply through music.

But ya, I need to make sure I am renewing my mind in Christ all the time and taking these thoughts captive.

Pray for me. XP
