DAY TWENTY-SEVEN

EXPRESSING WORSHIP THROUGH MUSIC

Today's Main Idea:

God created music and musicians to precede and proclaim His presence, is power, and is Word; and to prepare His people to receive Him.

As we begin this wonderful Tuesday together, I praise God today for His creativity. I thank Him for music and people, like you, that He bestowed tremendous musical gifts and talents to be used for His glory, honor and praise. As we experience music each day, never forget that music was created for worship! Really -- music was created by God and for God's glory, praise and adoration.

Harland shares this:

1. God created music and musicians to precede and proclaim His presence, His power, and His Word; and to prepare His people to receive Him.

2. God created music and musicians to lead His people as they celebrate, thank, and praise the Lord.

"God did not create and appoint musicians to worship for the people but to lead the people as they worshiped!...He set the musicians in place to lead the people in their own expression of worship." (p. 121, workbook)

Worship is a great gift from God. Music and musicians serve a crucial purpose in our worship expression.

God created you for worship,

and He loves to hear your unique expression of praise.

Give the Lord a song from your heart today. Praise Him with words and melody in praise.

Blessings,

Ken
