Music from the Lord

Make a joyful shout to the Lord...come before His presence with singing. (Psalm 100:1-2)

An old Jewish legend says that after God had created the world, He called the angels to Himself and asked them what they thought of it. One of them said, "The only thing lacking is the sound of praise to the Creator." So God created music, and it was heard in the whisper of the wind and in the song of the birds. He also gave man the gift of song....

Music is one of those good things...we take for granted. Yet it is a blessing from the Lord. It soothes troubled hearts and motivates us to live for Christ. And through it we lift our hearts in praise to the Lord.
