Honoring God
Dedicating the Temple of God
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
A Place for the Ark
2 Chronicles 5:11-14 New International Version
11 The priests then withdrew from the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of their divisions.12 All the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets. 13 The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang:
“He is good;
his love endures forever.”
Then the temple of the Lord was filled with the cloud, 14 and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God.
For Reflection
It is right that we should praise God with music. In music, we find the essence of Creation. Emotion, rationality, and spirituality mix harmoniously. All musicians are playing their parts in synchronicity with each other. Listeners are drawn into oneness with the composer. Rising and falling, weeping and laughing, we become engrossed in the experience of pure beauty that is our God.
Pray
Pray and allow yourself to be carried away with the harmony of the Creation.
