I am amazed that so many parents who love and serve the Lord do not
recognize the great need for the next generation to be “instructed in the songs
of the LORD”. Many parents who are not
Christians are more consistent in training their children musically than
Christian parents.
One more concept is note-worthy in this passage of Scripture. Jeduthun prophesied (to sing by inspiration)
with his harp. It is significant that he
sang by inspiration, but it is just as important that he taught his six sons to
prophesy with their musicing unto God.
He taught his sons to give thanks i.e. hold out their hands in avowal
and thankfulness to God. He also taught
them to praise (halal 1984) and to show or to boast of the self-existent,
eternal God.
Are your children being trained under your hands i.e. under your
supervision and tutelage? Are you
personally mentoring them in how to music unto God? Are you teaching them by example how to
praise and thank the Lord through music making?
