Praise Song 2 – Get Inspired! (#115)
As a poet/songwriter, I am
always intrigued by the source and process of inspiration.
What triggers a poem or
song?
Hmm…
For me, it may be a
variety of things: another song, a given theme, a message, an occasion.
As a Christian it’s not
really the ‘what’, but the ‘who’.
Let me divert here and use
an example from yesterday’s edition of the Christmas
Reading Plan in my husband’s His World Digital Blog.
Luke 1:39-49 tells us that
a pregnant Mary visits an also pregnant Elizabeth. At the sound of her (Mary’s) greeting two
things happened: Elizabeth’s baby (John), filled with the Holy Ghost jumps for
joy (v44) and Elizabeth, herself also filled with the Spirit, makes an inspired
declaration to Mary:
“You are blessed by God
above all other women, and your child is blessed” (v42).
The inspiration is really
flowing and continues with Mary’s praise song about God’s goodness and favour
to her (vv46-55).
Talk about inspiration…!
There is no greater source
of inspiration that the Holy Spirit. He may
use various triggers, but He is the Source.
Get inspired today!
