Meet our 2024 calendar dog, Buddy Mercury, the Singing Beagle. A rescue, he taught himself to play the piano and sing along with himself.
How about you? Do you play an instrument, or sing? How does music play a part in your life?
Music certainly has a role in the Christian faith, starting with what can be taken as song in Genesis (Genesis 2:23):
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
The Psalms are both song and poetry; an excellent example is Psalm 146:2.
While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
And Jesus sang with His Apostles, as recorded by Matthew (Matt. 26:30).
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives.
Music's important. Participatory music is really important.
This, from Revelation 5:
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Now over to Buddy Mercury.
While I don't play an instrument, I play music all day long. The world would be a most empty place without music.
ReplyDeleteIt's the old hymns of the faith that soothe me back to sleep during those middle of the night hours ...
ReplyDeleteI love music very much; it touches a place in my soul that words alone can't. We learned some new songs this weekend at a conference we attended. It was beautiful experience singing with the group.
ReplyDeleteI used to play the piano. Now I mostly just listen to it and sing along.
ReplyDeleteLove the video.
What a riot watching the dog play and sing! Thanks for the fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the old hymns!
ReplyDeleteWe keep music playing in the living room which sets the atmosphere in the house. I love to worship the Lord - both alone and with the Body of Christ.
