Ministering with music…. (devo reflection)

1 Chron 6:31 These are the men David put in charge of the music in the house of the LORD after the ark came to rest there.
When I think back to the music associated with the worship services I’ve been a part of in life, it is a very varied history. I’ve heard mostly older church members in three-part harmony singing traditional hymns. I’ve heard a keyboard and a song leader with just the congregation to sing. I’ve heard modern radio songs sung by a praise band in worship to our Lord. 
1 Chron 6:32a They ministered with music before the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, until Solomon built their temple of the LORD in Jerusalem….
And I’ve realized that for me, music is a crucial part of ministry, a crucial way to connect with and praise my Savior—from the gorgeous voices of the “professionals” to my not-so-tuneful yet heartfelt praise as I sing along. 
1 Chron 6:32b …They performed their duties according to the regulations laid down for them.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank you for the musical trip down memory lane. Thank You that any joyful noise in praise of You is beautiful in Your sight. Draw me closer. Amen.
1 Chron 6:33 Here are the men who served, together with their sons….
Have a blessed day.
