Making music in the local community band is one of my favourite pastimes. I would not say that I am a very good player, but when I hear all the instruments harmonizing, it gives me a warm feeling inside and I am again reminded how beautiful music is, not only to the ear but also to the heart. When I play the piano for the hymn sing in the care homes, I need all the notes there are on the page, even after years of playing. However, some young girls help me by playing the violin. They are so gifted that they play by ear and just follow me. It is wonderful to see these girls use their musical gift for the Lord.
Music is often used in the Bible. The Psalms are full of praising the Lord with music, singing or instrumentals. I love Psalm 150 “A psalm of Praise.” Let’s use our instruments and praise the Lord with them. It is also good to sing praises to our God it says in Psalm 147. “Praise the Lord.”
