Music Of Praise

I recently changed job locations and have re-discovered a treasure I had forgotten about. It's Musicmatch Jukebox. I greatly enjoy it for several reasons:

1-No commercials only brief announcements for Musicmatch that occur every 5-10 songs.
2-They have no partiality on which Christian artists to play or how often!
3-It is a jukebox, I choose the genre!
4-No DJ's.
5-I can listen to it all day and not hear the same song twice.
6-If I don't care for a song I can skip it and go to the next one.

I've been at this location for several weeks but not until today had I an opportunity to clean up the computer and organize files. It was a very pleasant surprise to find Musicmatch Jukebox and so I immediately began listening. It was so refreshing as I heard music from artists that I've not heard in years. Songs that were instrumental to my spiritual development early in my walk with the Lord. PFR, Margaret Becker and Wayne Watson to name a few. A Wayne Watson concert was the first Christian concert I attended as a new believer and he was the first Christian artist I owned on CD. I had a great moment with the Lord as I sang along with When God's people pray.

What thrills me about old Christian tunes is that I'm reminded of how far I've come with the Lord. I'm reminded of where I began my journey with the Lord and how God has proved himself faithful time and time again. I am so thankful for the times that were so difficult I did not know how I would continue and yet they have yielded fruit in abundance. Glory to God!

Thank you Jesus.
