Daily Devotional | God’s Design for Music
- May 1, 2024 | Job 38:7
Music is often linked with our emotions. But the word music calls us to use our minds. It comes from the Greek mousa where we get the term “muse”—to meditate, think carefully and thoroughly. For us as Christians, this also means to think biblically. Not doing so would lead to music being merely for our amusement, negating the very meaning of the word. Paul said, “I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding” (1 Cor. 14:15).
From the Editor
Hello friends,
What is your favorite hymn or worship song? If you’re like me, it is probably hard to pick just one.
Music has the unique ability to lift our mind, body, and heart heavenward. Why did God create music? What is its purpose? And why is music such a powerful influence on our daily walk of faith?
This May, we invite you to join us for a very special daily devotional issue: Sing to the Lord: Music in the Bible. Learn what the Bible has to say about music from Creation to the book of Revelation.
Our daily devotional author this month is Dr. Brian Lee who is not only a professor of music at Moody Bible Institute but also an accomplished musician and Juilliard graduate. I know this study will deepen your appreciation for the melodies that draw us nearer to Gd.
You won’t want to miss my video interview with Dr. Lee where he explains the inspiration behind this study. And, stay tuned to the end of the video where he gives a private concert, just for our readers! To watch now, go to our Today in the Word Youtube Channel.
Thank you for spending time in God’s Word with us,
Jamie Janosz, Managing Editor
P.S. Invite your children to join this study on music in the Bible. This month’s family study will help you make some music with your kids, celebrating the gifts God has given us. Download your copy of the May family study and share it with those you love!
