Bible verse about strength and music11/15/2023 It was through this musical display that the Spirit of God was summoned and He showed His presence by filling His house with a cloud. This Bible verse points to the fact that the musicians were well coordinated 'as one' with the singers. Musicians play a critical role in worship services. Indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying:“For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,” that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 2 Chronicles 5:13 NKJV.The verses below look at musicians and music and their importance. Special attention was given to the use of music and selecting musicians for the services of God. According to John's vision, harps will play the accompanying music as the redeemed sing their song before the throne. Those who truly know what it means to experience the salvation of Jesus will burst into glorious singing. The same way the wall of Jerusalem was restored as mentioned in Nehemiah is the same way the Lord will restore this earth with a new Jerusalem. ³They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder.The Levites were tasked with playing the instruments and leading out with the music for this special thanksgiving service. Their home has been destroyed and they were in captivity for many years but they were resolute in restoring Jerusalem to its former glory.Īfter they had completed construction, a celebration was planned to dedicate the building. The rebuilding of the wall marked a significant point in Israel's history. Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps.We may lose our life or He may choose to 'step in the fire furnace' to save us and exalt His high and holy name. May the Lord fortify us to choose Him even when all odds are against us. Let us stand firm like the three Hebrew boys. However in some instances it may come as a test of faith or a device to lure us away from God. Music is generally used to ascribe worship and praise to God. Six instruments played a symphony and everyone worshipped the golden image except for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. The sign that indicated when the people should bow to the golden image was 'a sound of music'. This Bible verse marks the signal that would test the loyalty of the three Hebrew boys to the true and living God. You, O king, have made a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the gold image Daniel 3:10 NKJV.In verse seven it stated, "So the women sang as they danced, and said: 'Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'". David had slain Goliath-the champion of the Philistines and his name was also included in a song. Singing, dancing, and joy was a part of the festivities. The tambourine was specifically mentioned as one of the musical instruments used in the celebration after Israel conquered the Philistines. Now it had happened as they were coming home, when David was returning from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments.They exclaimed with joy, "Sing to the Lord, For He has triumphed gloriously!." (Exodus 15:21) Miriam and the women played music, danced, and sang. This passage captures an expression of thanksgiving and rejoicing by the children of Israel after they had fled Egypt, escaped Pharaoh, and miraculously crossed the Red Sea. Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.Musical instruments have been used in the Bible to offer praise and show thanks to the Lord for His mighty acts, for saving His people, and giving them victory over their enemies.
