Music is playing everywhere these days. Restaurants, stores, and even the dentist’s office are playing music over their sound systems. People are plugged into music as they travel and as they walk.
As I get older I cherish quietness. I would prefer to eat in relative silence and I don’t need music in my ears as I walk down the street. I do enjoy music and understand how it can set a mood and drown out annoying sounds.
Music has always played a major role in godly worship. King David was a musician and wrote most of the songs recorded in the Bible. Hymns and worship songs still lead God’s people in bringing praise to our Heavenly Father. Psalm 100:1 says, “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing.”
Music that brings us into God’s presence by worshipping Him brings joy to our hearts and calms our weary souls. Sing it out!
