In a temple
worship of the Old Covenant
00:00:03.63\00:00:06.03
4,000 Levites were appointed
to praise God with instruments
00:00:06.07\00:00:09.60
and 288 singers
with their voices.
00:00:09.64\00:00:12.07
The very magnitude of
this enterprise demonstrates
00:00:12.11\00:00:15.14
the priority God
places on musical praise
00:00:15.18\00:00:18.08
and it pleases Him.
00:00:18.11\00:00:20.58
David says I will praise
the name of God with song
00:00:20.62\00:00:22.78
and shall magnify
Him with thanksgiving,
00:00:22.82\00:00:24.89
and it will please the
Lord better than an ox or a
00:00:24.92\00:00:27.69
young bull with horns and hoofs.
00:00:27.72\00:00:29.52
If you're involved with
music for your local church,
00:00:29.56\00:00:32.26
or even in your own
personal worship at home,
00:00:32.29\00:00:34.46
why not focus on the
quality of your musical worship?
00:00:34.50\00:00:38.57
The more we trivulize praise
either through relegating it
00:00:38.60\00:00:42.00
to a small slot in the
church service or through
00:00:42.04\00:00:44.51
shoddy preparation.
00:00:44.54\00:00:45.87
The further we fall
short of the Biblical standard.
00:00:45.91\00:00:49.18
So, get those instruments
out and warm up the voices,
00:00:49.21\00:00:52.78
we have some praise to do.
00:00:52.81\00:00:54.58
I'm Jennifer
LaMountain reminding you,
00:00:54.62\00:00:56.82
God has created you
with a musical mind.
