Music

Music is what drives me! I love to sing, I love to play the piano and I love to worship God through song! As far as I am concerned, there is not much of anything that could fill my heart with as much joy as making music unto the Lord (that is except for my family)!

Music is such an instrumental part of the word of God! I think one of my many favorite examples of this is in 2 Chronicles Chapter 20. King Jehoshaphat received a word from the Lord in which God said , do not be afraid or

 

 

 

 

discouraged because of the vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. After consulting the people, King Jehoshaphat appointed men to SING to the Lord and to praise Him for the splendor of His holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: "Give thanks to the Lord, for His love endures forever." As you read on in the story you see that not only did God fight the battle for them but he provided them with more equipment and clothing than they could carry. They returned to Jerusalem and went to the temple with INSTRUMENTS to rejoice! How awesome is that! The battle was won and provision was made and guess who went out before the armies, SINGERS! WOW! In the book of Psalms alone, more than 50 of the verses are for the director of music and the word music is mentioned over 100 times! Music is a very important part in the word of God. Look at what Psalms 95:1-3 speaks to us:

Psalm 95

1 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

2 Let us come before Him with thanksgiving
and extol Him with MUSIC and SONG.

3 For the Lord is the great God,
the great King above all gods.

 

Clearly we are to come before the Lord with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song! He desires that from us and there is no doubt that He deserves it!

I pray that as you read through this site, you would be uplifted in the Lord. I pray that you would come to know Him on a deeper level than you have ever experienced before. I pray that your life would be transformed and renewed through the knowledge of who God truly is! Be blessed and always be a blessing!
