Have you ever pondered on the thought of why
we include music in our public and private worship of God? Why don’t we just speak
all our worship to God? Why do we music unto Him? Musicing unto God helps us to
understand and express effectively who God is and what He does. In the act of
musicing we are able to express our response to the claims of God upon our
lives. Sometimes words alone cannot fully express the depth of our response to
God-- so, we music unto Him.
Genesis
1:1
states that “1In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth.” Colossians
1:16 tells us “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and
that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for
him:” Hebrews 2:10-12 further
explains why we music unto God when it says, “For it became him, for whom are all
things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make
the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that
sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is
not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my
brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.” Verses 16-18
continues, “For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on
him the seed of Abraham. 17Wherefore in all
things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful
and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation
for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted,
he is able to succor them that are tempted.” Hebrews 4:14-16 caps it all off with these words, “Seeing then that
we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of
God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which
cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto
the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time
of need.”
