~ God Speaks
Through Music ~
Series
Introduction ~ The one true God is a relational God who desires interaction
with His created humans. But it is up to
each person to choose to listen carefully to the God of this universe. In this series we look at various ways God
communicates to us if we are willing to listen.
Keep in mind throughout this series that the most basic and important
way to hear from God is read The Holy Bible with an open mind.
Scripture ~ “Jehoshaphat
bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem bowed before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. Then the Levites of the children of the
Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the Lord
God of Israel with voices loud and high.
“So
they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and
as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, ‘Hear me, O Judah and you
inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be
established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.’ And when he had consulted with the people, he
appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty
of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: ‘Praise the
Lord, for His mercy endures forever.’
“Now
when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the
people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they
were defeated. For the people of Ammon
and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and
destroy them. And when they had made an
end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another” (2 Chronicles
20:18-23).
Comment ~ Throughout
the history of God’s people music has been key in hearing what God requires of
you. The Book of Psalms has been called
Israel’s Hymnbook.
My
personal testimony is that the popular hymn “Amazing Grace” had a very
significant part in my own salvation.
