Do you ever hear those songs that speak to you? Like, it was created and meant just for you? I love those kinds of songs, I'm pretty sure God knew what He was doing when He created music. Music is one the most amazing intangible things ever created.
In the Similrilion, Tolken writes about how Middle-Earth was created and I absolutely love the way he describes his world being formed. In it, he has one great being who has these subjects who were created to do it's bidding, kind of like God and angels is how I took it. Anyways, the subjects are given these instruments to play to glorify the creator, and the music that they play out of their instruments creates different parts of the world. For instance, one plays a great horn and creates all of the elves in middle earth, another beats something like a drum and the mountains are formed and another one trills on a flute and the tides of the ocean are created.
While the bible says that God spoke creation into being, I can't help but wonder if there wasn't some awesome soundtrack going on in the background while He spoke. I can picture some amazing metal riffs and double bass drum beats happening when God spoke the ocean into existence while Jesus and the Holy Spirit are doing some windmill kicks and throwing down together.
Music, like many other things in this world, blows my mind. It can set moods, create atmosphere and even play with our feelings. I can't help but wonder how incredible heavenly music will be, and hearing the angels worship the creator in all of His splendor, in ways that our bodies would not be able to handle now and our minds would melt because of how holy it is. I'm excited for that day. Until then I will keep enjoying the earthly music that we have been blessed with.
