Artistic Arrangements of God’s Creation


 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.
