Can music be a joy? Whenever I hear a new song, and a new artist that is really good, or when I play music, I just feel so happy inside! How is this a blessings from God, and how is music a joy?
Well, God created music, and it exists everywhere! In nature, the sounds of birds and of rushing water, and wind in the trees. Any sound really, is the creation of God! That in itself shows so much about God's character! He is attentive to detail and has created everything with a purpose and plan, God has also blessed us and has given us music.
Several times when music is mentioned in the bible, it is often used (most often!) used in worshipping God! I read this verse once a while ago, and it stuck out to me:
2 Samuel 6:4-6
5 David and all the people of Israel were celebrating before the Lord, singing songs[a] and playing all kinds of musical instruments—lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals.
I read this and thought, "Hey? Music was such an important aspect of praising God that it was mentioned and recorded in the bible!"
David played before the Lord! Music the creation of God, and it is one such unique way that an indivual can express feelings to our Creator!
So when I hear a really good song, and that really awesomely musical, I get really happy.
When I worship, playing music or singing in church, there is so much joy!
