Play unto the Lord

Play unto the Lord – One Hundred and Eight

     A worshipper is one who expresses their heart in worship.  Worship is an attitude of the heart expressed.  One way of worshipping that has a dramatic effect both on the player and the hearer is playing an instrument.  The word for worshipping with an instrument is Zamar.  Now instruments were made to express what was in the heart.  God made us people who love music.  It is part of our DNA.  Now Lucifer was the chief choir master in heaven and he knows that music is a vital part of the human core.  It is something that moves us right into our deepest being.  In the form of satan now he exploits and uses music the destroy expressions of music.  As a worshipper we can redeem music and bring it back to its original intent as a form to praise and glorify the Lord.  One of the greatest expressions of worship in tongues in a musical form.  It lifts the participant into the highest expression of praise.  Musical instruments have always been in one form or another used in worship.  David used a harp and lyre.  The priests used the cymbal, horns, drums and flutes.  In David’s times there were choirs of priests who all they did was sing praise psalms to God.  We are called to sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs in our hearts unto the Lord. 

     Today praise and worship has been taken to a high level or excellence and professionalism.  The greatest expression of a musician or worshipper is to play and instrument that glorifies the Lord.  Instruments that blast, some that strum and others that beat.  All with one purpose and that is to praise the Lord. 

     Nothing sounds more beautiful to the ears of God then when His children praise Him.  Instruments bring clarity and further expression.  An anointed musician playing their instrument to the Lord is truly an amazing thing.  When you have an orchestra playing songs unto the Lord there is nothing more beautiful.  So children of the Lord, praise the Lord.  Praise Him on the high sounding cymbal.  Praise Him with the strings, with the percussion and with the horns.  Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord.
