"...U omring my met liedere van redding." Psalm 32:7 NLV
Liedere van redding (1)
Die Psalmdigter het geskryf: ‘U is vir my ‘n skuilplek. U beskerm my van teëspoed. U omring my met liedere van redding.’ Wanneer moeilikheid opdaag, kan jy na God toe draai en by Hom wegkruip. Hoe? Deur jouself met liedere van redding te omring. Ruth Ward Heflin gee ons ‘n padkaart na God se teenwoordigheid toe: ‘Jy lofprys totdat die gees van aanbidding kom, jy aanbid totdat die heerlikheid kom en dan staan jy in die heerlikheid.’ Dit is daar waar alle dinge moontlik is. God het vir Jeremia gesê: ‘…Ek staan gereed om te doen wat Ek gesê het gaan gebeur’
(Jeremia 1:12 NLV). Die harp wat Dawid gebruik het om God op die heuwels te loof terwyl hy na sy skape omgesien het, is dieselfde harp wat God gebruik het om koning Saul van die geeste wat hom in die greep van depressie gehad het, te bevry. Dit was ook nie die enigste keer wat God musiek gebruik het om ‘n wonderwerk mee te verrig nie. Toe die mense van Juda uitwissing as gevolg van droogte in die gesig gestaar het, het die profeet Elisa gesê: ‘Laat iemand wat die lier kan speel, hiernatoe kom. Terwyl iemand op die lier gespeel het, kom die krag van die Here oor Elisa. Hy sê: ‘Dit is wat die Here sê: Hierdie droë vallei sal met poele water gevul word’’ (2 Konings 3:15-16 NLV). God het daardie vallei vol water gemaak en hulle ‘n skouspelagtige oorwinning oor hul vyande gegee. Die sanger Julie True sê: ‘Op 'n geestelike vlak omseil musiek ons verstand en gaan reguit na ons hart, siel en gees toe. Dit raak plekke aan wat deur niks anders bereik kan word nie. Aanbidding maak die hemele oop en roer God se hart.’
