The One Year Bible - Day 198

1 Chronicles 25 is one of the few passages about music in the Bible. It is interesting that we place a massive emphasis on it in today's churches whereas the Bible places much more emphasis on the Kingdom, integrity, love and power. Anyway, the one thing that struck me was how seriously they took their music. There were people appointed who were directed by musical directors. We can easily shy away from such things in the church because we are afraid of excluding people who might not be very good. Of course you can arrange music with people are aren't that good, you just have to limit what they do to what they are able to do. If we were playing for the Queen, we would prepare and practise loads. For some reason we don't feel the same burden to do so for the King of Kings even though He is infinitely greater.
