God Created the Building Blocks of
Music-part 1
Was music made as a part of God’s objective
acts of creation? Genesis 1:1 tells us,
“In the beginning God created…” We know
from the words Elohiym bara eth
(430,1254, 853) in verse one that the
supreme exceeding God absolutely made or created music from or of Himself. God took nothing and made music out of this
“nothingness”. Psalm 146:6 clearly
states that it was God “Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that
therein is: which keepeth truth forever”?
Strong says that asah (6213)
means “to do or make” something. Is
there any logical reason why music is not a part of this “all” which is
mentioned here? St. John 1:3&10,
Ephesians 3:9, and Revelation 4:11all attest to the belief of a complete
creation and especially, Colossians 1:16, “For by him were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they
be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created
by him, and for him.”
So, I am drawn to the logical conclusion that
out of the chaos, emptiness, confusion, and nothingness reported in Genesis
1:2, God created and an brought His creation into proper form—these acts of
creation included music. God chose to
create music because, in his perfect will He desired that it should be a part
of His perfect creation. In his objective acts of creation, God created the
mathematical ratios that are the basis of what music is and what
it is capable of being like when a musician astutely arranges the music part of
music (the building blocks of music) unto artistic musical patterns. Because of
God’s ownership and Lordship, HE has authority over how we arrange and
use His musical building blocks. When
Christian musicians get rid of the sense of music ownership many problems that
surround religious music and musicing disappear.
Scripture Thought for the Day
St. John 1:3, “All things were made by him;
and without him was not anything made that was made.”
