Can God speak through Shuffle?

Turns out, I’m a musical person. I’ve always been in some way, but after some stuff in high school I refused to look at music as anything worth spending time on. In college, when I started actually spending time with the Lord, He opened my eyes to the brilliance of worship and of music. Now I can’t escape it! Seriously, I seem to always have a soundtrack running in my head all the time! Certain things people say will trigger a song to start up or a song will come through my headphones at just the right moment in my day. But sometimes too I think God uses it to speak to me.

Is that weird? Can God do that? I mean, I know He can: He’s God so He can do anything. But would God work that way?

I was reading my WR sister Nicole‘s blog last night about how she was called to the race (She makes it sound more like she was dragged haha. Read it if you get a chance!). At the end she writes, “I think best of all is discovering God hasn’t called me to be an outdoorsy ‘granola’ kind of a missionary. I forget God knows me. He created me and gave me my personality, talents and passions. I’m learning I can serve Him in unique ways and use my desires to reach the nations.”

I don’t really know why, but the thought that Jesus is mine always blows my mind. I can tell you all day about how He’s yours, but applying that to myself is a much harder truth to embrace. I just can’t wrap my head around that concept. It probably stems back to that whole inadequacy thing I constantly struggle with, but today the idea hit home.
