God is our Creator and Sustainer.
He saves us from the evil one and from our sin.
Let all who know and believe in Him praise His Holy Name!
“He [Hezekiah] stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus was the commandment of the Lord by His prophets.” [1]
King and prophets have endorsed worship music to the Lord!
The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. [2]
“…And when the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord also began, with the trumpets and with the instruments of David king of Israel.” [3]
“So, all the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. And when they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed and worshiped. Moreover, King Hezekiah and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praise to the Lord with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So, they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.” [4]
“So, there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem. Then the priests, the Levites, arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to heaven.” [5]
One of the primary objectives of God’s people is to encourage and make way for people to worship the Lord with music and singing.
I love to praise and worship our Lord Jesus Christ with His people in His house.
