Music has been an important part of worship since the very beginning.
Music is a beautiful gift from God and it is everywhere in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. It is one of the most powerful ways to offer praise and thanks to God.
St. John Paul II wrote in his Letter to Artists how the Church needs musicians.
This respect for music is also seen in the Psalms, as music was a vital part of worship in ancient Israel.
If you are a musician and ever need encouragement to keep going, reflect on this and other passages of the Bible and see the beauty of music.
