At different points in my life I tried to learn how to play an instrument... patience was lacking. But I've always loved to sing and create little ditties. Making music brings me joy. However, one of my most favorite activities is listening to music created by others. When I feel to dance, I turn on an upbeat tune. When I need to relax, I've got my ambient music playlist handy. It has also been a true delight to experience and discover the seemingly endless variety of music and musical instruments that have been created. Within the past year I discovered handpan/hang drums, harp guitars, and melodicas. When I consider all the joy that music brings into my life, it doesn't surprise me that I share this joy with the Lord. It's so clear, as I read the scriptures, that music is important to Him. In Psalm 100:2, we are told to "Come into his presence with singing!" But what is really amazing is that we are told that when He comes again He will come into our presence with singing. That will be the best music ever!
