What Does Your MP3 Player Say About You?

At least everyone has an MP3 player or ipod, and if you don't, you probably have an exstensive CD collection.  If you're years older, you probably collected records.  I don't know anyone who doesn't like a certain kind of music.  Of course, I tend to go all over the place with my musical selections.  I find that I run the gamut between classic rock, classic Christian rock, classic CCM, moldy oldies, and every type of Christian metal you can find.  It's all there for the taking.  Oh yes, even some goth.  Yeah, I know.  Some dark stuff is very impressive.  My friend Jane suggests that I need more 70's R&B.  Perhaps, she's right.  Oh, and I almost forgot.  I'm a sucker for anything 80's, including the weirdest new wave around. 

So, as I studied the music on this player, everything lyrically ranges from the super-spiritual to the somewhat irreverant.  I don't know.  My mind must be fragmented.  I'm surprised I don't have MP3-player MPD.  Unfortunately, it just shows that sometimes, I'm not always the most super-spiritual in the world.  I don't have to be, but I realize that I'm a fallen human who needs redemption.  My MP3 player probably tells of every triumph, every struggle, every test, every temptation, but most of all, but since I'm finding a lot more Christian music on it these days, itl tells of the very God that loves me and bids me to "go and sin no more."   

Romans 3:23-25 (King James Version)

 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

 24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

 25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm glad it doesn't just end there with Romans 3:23.  Read further on, and you understand although we are all sinners, we find redemption through our Lord.  No, we can't do anything on our own, but once we seek His grace, we know we can truly be free.  Let's not forget such a great sacrifice He made in order to give us this grace. 

One of these days, maybe I'll change the music on the player to represent more of who God wants me to be.  That might be a good idea in the long run.  At least, in my life, my MP3 player DOES indeed say a lot about me.

So what does your MP3 player say about you?
