Music

"Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD"
Ex. 15:1

T

he book of Psalms sits center stage in the Bible for a reason. Music gives our spirit wings. It rises to the sky like the curling smoke of incense from the altar in the temple’s inner most chamber of the human heart. Music is like the ascending stairs to Solomon’s temple and Jacob’s ladder to heaven. The Bible is the HIM book, for it is the story of man’s fall and redemption, and redemption is all about HIM. All those who know what grace is have a song to sing. Jehoshaphat put the singers before the heavy infantry and archers to face the enemy. When the Prodigal came home there was “singing and dancing.” Moses and the Hebrews sang when God closed the Red Sea on Pharaoh’s pursuing army. Paul and Silas sang at midnight in the Philippian jail. Every soul was made to sing.
Music is not only a universal language, it plucks the strings and strikes the cords of every heart, in step with the Maker and Maestro in harmony with heaven.  The presence of music is ubiquitous around the world, and no one can explain why it so effects our emotions. The language of music is universal and just like God’s creation gave us a measure of seven days, music has seven notes and an alphabet of seven letters. The alphabet of music (ABCDEF) climbs the musical staff resting on or levitating  between the staff’s 5 lines and then repeats the loop in next higher octave. Only God Himself or angels could have imagined such a thing. Somehow we know when a note or string is “out of tune,” and the difference of being in harmony and a disconsonant cord.
That music is vibration causing a sensation or joy or sadness and is both a mystery and a marvel. Make no doubt about it. We are instruments. -id
