God!—Part
2
Early in the Genesis record God
communed with his human creation. He
communicated with both man (Adam) and woman (Eve). God communicated with his human creation not
because He had to walk and talk with them in the garden, but because He desired
to have fellowship with them. It seems
to me that they did not even slightly realize the significance or importance of
this divine-human connection established by God himself. In the garden god could have sent one of His
angles to communicate God’s message to them.
I believe that God’s establishment of
divine-human communion is of great import to our worship of the Trinity. Elohim, God in plurality, desired and desires
to communicate with both men and women in this life. Worship communication, both public and
private, corporate and individual, is a God thing. Although we marvel that Adam and Eve
transgressed and broke off that wonderful communication of the Garden of Eden,
many people repeat history and transgress Gods law and precepts and therefore
break off that wonderful communion between god and mankind.
Many Christians who remain mute when
the body of Christ is musicing, are refusing to commune with God. Although these Christians do not mean there
silence as a form of rebellion against a God established communion, their
silence is without a refusal to commune with God. Since the Bible is fraught with references to
the necessity of communing with god through music, it is the responsibility of
every music minister to catechize the congregation on the significance and
importance of musicing together unto God.
Prayer
for the Day
“Grant, we beseech thee, merciful God,
that thy church, being gathered together in unity by thy holy Spirit, may
manifest thy power among all peoples, to the glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and
reigneth with thee in the same Spirit, one God world without end. Amen.” The Book of Common Prayer, 1953, pg.

Is the Lord by Michael W. Smith
Thought
for the Day
Since God has proven
Himself to be an awesome God to generation after generation, why should we not
trust him to be god in the twenty first century
