Artistic Arrangements of God’s Creation.
The
concept that God does not have anything to say about sacred and secular music
is false. As a matter of fact, this
faulty view actually denies God’s authority over the whole of creation which
includes the whole of music. It behooves
all of us to study His Word and discern just what His will is concerning
music. It is also safe to conclude that
all Music Matters very much to God. Although it is
presumptuous to claim to know exactly all that God thought when he thought
music into existence, we do know from His infallible inspired Word more about
how to music unto Him than many Christians suppose.
As we have already considered
many times in this blog, music in its beginning, is not the original concept of
primitive mankind, but rather the concept of God who is alpha and omega the
beginning and the end. To assume anything less is false and has no basis
in or outside of Scripture. God created the mathematical ratios that form
sound or tone, the basis of music, and it has existed from the time of
creation. As we have stated before, man did not evolve into existence, and
likewise music did not evolve into existence. Although mankind has
developed music over the thousands of years since creation, these advancements
in the way that the building blocks of music are fitted together are not
actually creations. They are only
constructions or artistic arrangements of God’s creation.
Thought for the Day
Christian
musicians should get rid of the sense of ownership of music. As Christians, the music we perform belongs
to God.
