Music is one of my favorite things to be creative with. The Bible talks about music a lot. I found a list of verses on music and they really struck my heart. One of these verses is Job 35:10. This is what it says,"but no one says, where is God my Maker who gives songs in the night." What this passage has been talking about is these people who aren’t going to God with their troubles. The point I would like to make with this is that God gives to us songs. Why would he give songs if he didn’t want us to praise Himwith them? After all our purpose is to praise God and give Him the glory for everything. The Bible tells us this in Matt. 5:16," Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
The next point I would like to make is that God loves us so much that He puts us in these trials so we can hear His beautiful love song. This is what Job is mostly about. This fact makes my heart feel like singing! God is the only one that can comfort me in this most absolute and perfect way. And the thing is ,He does it with "a song in the night" . It is my belief that God also wants us to try to comfort each other with song and to play for each other’s enjoyment. This is why music is important to me and why I enjoy being
creative with it.
