Sing a Song part 9

Instruments were obviously part of the Jewish worship service. (Ezekiel 28:13, Amos 6:5) Instruments were also a source of Solomon feeling empty. (Ecclesiastes 2:8), gaining as much opulence and as much treasure so that he could bring the finest musicians and for what? For worship? Solomon later says the only worship to God is with the whole heart. If you can do that and perfect an object, then more power to you. Daniel sees that musical instruments were being used to call people to worship false gods. (Daniel 3:5,7,10) Of course, instruments were used to summon people to worship the one true God in the temple. Nevertheless it was something that all peoples used, much as the universal signal for a play to begin is flickering the lights to enter the theater. Was it important to use instruments? In Job 21:2-12, people hear the tones of musical instruments and are happy. Also in Job 30:31, because of his sorrows, the instruments were making sorrowful tones. But are these important in our relationship with God? Can a musical instrument bring us closer to God, lead us to knowing God more, or even give us some information regarding God? Are they supposed to? I don't think so. An instruments is a work of art, much like a still life or portrait. And as such only reflects the artist's depiction of a particular work. Even a composition only reflects a composer's depiction of some theme, regardless of whether the music is baroque,romantic, impressionistic or expressionistic. Our music is an image of us, given talents by God to make the music to be sure, but the music we make is ours to God. Our music by singing to God, each of us, regardless of talent because God made each of us with vocal cords to be able to sing to Him. God is the singing God (Zephaniah 3:17)and in His image we are singers to Him. What if we try to perfect that singing? There is really nothing wrong with trying to blend voices better, or to be in a chorus, or even to have that chorus accompanied by instruments. But we must remember that that chorus is perfected by the interpretation of a human being, and that God has given us what we need to worship Him. Again let me reiterate, nothing wrong with that interpretation. But is it necessary for worship, or is it even doing the best of God's will that we can? I believe that God likes simplicity. God love me to come before Him, nothing elaborate, and praise Him and bring Him that which makes me joyous and that which makes me sad. Me. Myself. Not my interpretation of my existence on earth.Not my feelings of God. But me. My essence. And a chorus doesn't bring that out in me. It makes me focus on singes, on "I wold have done it this way" or "I don't like that interpretation" or "I prefer that interpretation" or Doesn't that express God?". Actually something may lead one to God, true. Something may spark an idea or a memory, but unless it is backed by His Word, that idea is just my thought of what God is, and not the truth of Who God is.
