I have been reading in 1 Chronicles. I am amazed at the attention to music! In 1 Chronicles 15, David ordered the Levite leaders to appoint a choir of Levites who were singers and musicians to sing joyful songs to accompaniment of harps, lyres, and cymbals. Verse 28 states: So all Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord's Covenant with shouts of joy, the blowing of rams' horns and trumpets, the crashing of cymbals, and loud playing on harps and lyres. WOW! This is so cool the important role of music in such a joyous and important event in the history of God's People.
After about 25 years of singing in the Adult Chancel Choir of Vidalia First United Methodist Church, I have taken an eleven-year absence. Lord willing, this Sunday, I will rejoin the Choir. I am so looking forward to it. The choir has been a place of God ministering to me personally, while using me to minister to others. I am one of those music people who is not complete without music. I love Contemporary Christian music and Classic Rock music. I praise God for the era I have lived in. I grew up in the 70s and 80s with the best rock ever! God blessed me with a love for Contemporary Christian music from the late 70s until today. I have seen over 100 Christian artists in concert. God has blessed me with Christian albums, 8-tracks, cassettes, and phone downloads! A day without music is quite the weird day.
I continue to have a dream of being a Contemporary Christian Radio DJ. Prayers appreciated!
Psalm 150 is evidence that God is the author of Rock Music for His glory!
1. Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in his mighty heaven!
2. Praise Him for His mighty works; praise His unequaled greatness!
3. Praise Him with a blast of the ram's horn; praise Him with the lyre and harp!
4. Praise Him with tambourine and dancing; praise Him with strings and flutes!
5. Praise Him with a clash of cymbals; praise Him with loud clanging cymbals!
6. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!
