Creator and Creations

I've mentioned before that I enjoy writing music, mainly instrumental music. If anyone ever tried to steal the music I've written and claim it for their own, I don't think I'd have any trouble at all proving the music is mine. Each piece I've written was given a name. By just hearing the name, I can tell you almost everything about that piece of music. Without looking at it, I can tell you what key it's written in, how many sharps or flats is in its key signature, how many beats are in each measure, the time signature, the story behind the music and exactly what instruments I had in mind to play it. Or this could all be reversed -- if I heard the first measure of anything I've written, I could tell you the name of it as well as all the things I just listed. That's because I wrote the music; since I created it I know everything about it because it's special to me.

On a much larger scale, God created each and every person. He knows us by our name and he knows every little detail about us, much more detail than I know about my musical compositions. Satan tries to steal us away but he can't if we are in Christ. We have been bought with the blood of Christ and he is able to hold on to us. We belong to Him and He loves us. He knows the exact number of hairs on our heads at any given time of the day, He knows every thought we think, every place we visit, He knows the exact day, hour and minute of our birth, and He knows what will happen in our future. He even knew us before we were born. To me, these are comforting thoughts. It's comforting to know that we have a God who really knows us and loves us because we are his and He created us. And if He can know all of this about us, surely we can trust Him to take care of our needs and to take care of our children when they are out of our hands. God IS the one who is in control of this universe and He is more than able to take care of every situation in our lives.

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. Psalm 139:1-4

I agree that this is a comforting thought. God is the Great Physician. He knows what makes us tick and when something's wrong, He either an make it better or help us handle what's wrong. Either way, God helps us become better people.

You do a beautiful job of writing music also. You won't believe this but I found the CD I was going to send to you in my purse this a.m. With my crazy life, I forgot to send it out. LOL!! I am feeling so much better. Thanks so much for your prayers.

I love coming to your blog. You have a way of putting things into words that just makes it so .....

I don't know how to explain it. You have a talent for writing. You look at things and explain it to where everyone who reads it can understand it.

God bless.:-)

He knows the exact day, hour and minute of our birth
That part hit me because it has always bothered me that my parents don't know when I was born. Neither can even remember the time of day. "Was the sun up?" I'd ask and the reply was always a shrug.

It is actually comforting to think that somebody, somewhere cared when I popped out.
