Beat Drop
I Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
Salutations all! We want to just lift up praise and thankfulness for all we have at this moment; giving recognition to God and all He provides daily for us! As you notice the title for today, note that though it uses those words that seem to be of music, it has many other meanings too. As we go through life we are constantly working toward achieving all that God has planned for us. We can help at times when we become excited and eager to share news that builds us up, carries us toward the goals we chose with God’s guidance! That waiting, then the moment that it is spoken, we feel the beat drop sudden, powerful and the adrenaline pushes out because we don’t know how to hold it in! Just like the song that plays with a continued buildup, a slow melodic energy working; then boom; the rhythm or bassline drops that specific sound that captures listeners inward and outward with joyful emotions! Our brains work on calm emotions until something; whether music, announcement, recognition; steps in and changes all the connected dopamine releasements causing us to show outward everything that is inside! I compare those moments of special foods that even the smells of it, bring pleasures to our taste buds and the joy our stomachs feel as it meets together. Sometimes, those same feelings come as we are in the forest, walking a trail, and that smell of rain flows through with the breeze. It brings a peace, a contentment of relaxation that God’s creation holds so much that can bring us to internal alignment with God. Every sense that we have can hold a “beat drop”, each carries a specific way to enhance the joys of all that is. Just like the moment you give God your soul; the way you release it all to Him; a peace beyond anything we have ever felt. The moments of the beat drop when we share that feeling and someone else accepts it; what a joy! So, today, let’s thank God for all the ways we can experience, feel, give to others, share with others; thank Him for the beat drops that exist in all things!
