Music with Creation

“In the beginning God created the heavens and earth.” Genesis 1:1 (KJV) “All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made.” John 1:3 (KJV) Just recently I was reading a short article about creation. The writer said that he believed that while God was in the act of creation, He did it with music in the background. He noted Job 38:4,7. It reads, “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? . . . When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” (NJKV) Somebody else pointed out to me at another time that if you were to watch a TV program with no background music, you would soon see how uninteresting it becomes. TV and radio advertisements rely on music to add to the effect of the ad. Animated cartoons rely heavily on music of one kind or another. The evolutionist says that there was no music — just a big bang. I never had a problem believing that God is the Creator — and that creation, as revealed in the Genesis record, says He did the work in six days. My faith is similar to one of my granddaughters. She was five at the time when her school teacher told the class that, “There will be a new moon tonight.” Her response was, “That’s what Jesus does. He puts away the old one and puts the new one in its place.” Psalm 149:1 says, “Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise in the congregation of saints.” Psalm 98:6 says, “With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King” (KJV). Lord, we praise You for Your goodness, greatness, and Your love to us. — Bill Jackson   Council Fire is a collaboration with Intertribal Life Ministries and Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.
