1Chronicles 25-27<\/a><\/p>\nDaily Thought<\/b><\/p>\n
To prophecy is to forthtell, to speak God\u2019s Word for today, or foretell, to speak God\u2019s Word for the future, but there must be more, because the sons of Heman, Asaph, and Jeduthun \u201cprophesied with lyres, with harps, and with cymbals\u201d (1Chronicles 25:1). Heman was the king\u2019s seer (2Chronicles 25:5).\u00a0He was also his director of music. King David selected the sons of Heman, along with those of Asaph and Jeduthun, to be the orchestra, exalting God and filling the house of the Lord with music. The music itself speaks God\u2019s Word, not to the present or the future, but to the soul. It is the creature\u2019s response to her Creator. Prophecy tells us more than what is or what will be, but it speaks to who we are and who is our Father. There is a power in beauty that declares the divine and opens our hearts to the wonders of Almighty God.<\/p>\n
Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
\nsing to the Lord, all the earth!
\nSing to the Lord, bless his name;
\ntell of his salvation from day to day.
\nDeclare his glory among the nations,
\nhis marvelous works among all the peoples!
\nFor great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
\nhe is to be feared above all gods.
\nFor all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
\nbut the Lord made the heavens.
\nSplendor and majesty are before him;
\nstrength and beauty are in his sanctuary. ~Psalm 96:1-6<\/i><\/p>\n
Alongside the heavens and the earth, the majesty and mystery of creation, art and music touches our heart, sings to the soul, declares God\u2019s glory, prophecies with lyres, with harps, and with cymbals. This is why we sing.<\/p>\n
Daily Prayer<\/b><\/p>\n
Wonderful God, fill me with Your Spirit, with Your Words, with Your songs, that I might declare Your wonders and Your glory, the beauty and mystery of life. You touch my mind and I understand, but worship is more than what I simply think. There is language deeper than words, unlocked by the heavens, by music, by creation, by wonder, that express Your glory. Your grace and love and truth are displayed not only in what I do and what I say, but in what I sing. What a strange and wonderful thing is music. Thank You for it. Where words fail to express Your glory, music proclaims it to the world. What a wonderful God.<\/p>\n
Amen<\/p>\n
