God is a master of exceptional beauty and order. In him we find rhythm, cadence, and splendor. He directs the earth to circle the sun, the moon to tug the seas, and the rivers to flow downhill.
Psalm 98:6 tells us:
“With trumpets and sound of cornets make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.”
The noise that comes from our instruments is the music that lifts our hearts and souls into communion with the Father. We can find the very nature of our God in the songs we sing. His eternal aspect of three-in-one is revealed in the very music he desires us to lift unto him.
Musical Aspect No. 1:
All music is sound that is produced in an ordered structure. We call this the melody. We can ripple triplets across our keyboard, strum chords on our guitar, or toot a half note on our trombone; whatever method we choose, we imitate God, for he orders the world in a structure of his choosing.
Musical Aspect No. 2:
Great music is a choral activity. We combine various instruments, tones, and sounds. We sing according to our voices: soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. Just as we enjoy the interweaving harmony of the music, so God enjoys the harmony of his creation.
Musical Aspect No. 3:
The measured beat, the rhythm of the piece, carries the music along, creating pattern and drawing us in. The rhythm of the song is the heartbeat of the melody, allowing the music to come alive and envelop us with beauty and meaning. The rhythm of the sunrise and sunset, and the patterns of our daily lives are the cadence that accompanies us from birth until death, until we return to the Father who gave us life.
God is the Great Conductor of life. When we return our music of praise unto him, we acknowledge his sovereignty over all of creation and his presence in our very souls. It’s in singing unto him that we truly become one with our Father above.
Our connection with God is made stronger when we lift our hearts in praise to him.
