Getting 2021
Started Right
In order to help us get 2021
started right, there is a concept of God's creation recorded in the Genesis
record that we should discuss. As I
have said before in this blog, Genesis
1:31 records the fact that when God created music its condition was very (maod, 3966) good (towb, 2896). In other words,
His music creation was not merely good, but it was exceedingly good or
beautiful. The Hebrew word maod is a superlative term.
To God, music was not “just there”, but rather
it was exceedingly good when used as He intended. Towb
connotes not only goodness but also beauty.
Although it is difficult to fully ascertain what is meant by music connoting beauty or being beautiful, it is
possible to understand that God created music for His glory and also created it
to be exceedingly beautiful and wonderful. We can also justly conclude that this
creation which was maod towb was
exceedingly valuable to mankind. It was
very beautiful, valuable, meaningful, and had the ability to be very efficacious
either for good or, if perverted, for evil.
Prayer for
the New Year
Dear precious Lord and Savior I want to thank You for
creating music. Help me to know how to
music for your honor and glory throughout 2021.
Help me to seek your will every time I music and every time I write
about music and musicing. Ord help me to
so live that my life will be constantly a life of service and worship. Search my heart and see if there be any
selfish or wicked way in me. Help me to
be circumspect in the way I live before my fellow man. This I am praying in Your wonderful and wise
name, Amen.
