God noise (3 of 3)

By day 5 fish and birds filled the planet and noise was born. Perhaps even before that as God placed the stars in the sky. God spoke, Adam and Eve spoke and verbal noise filled the silence of the garden. Communication and dialogue became the basis for relationship.
Always has been and always will be.

God speaks and we speak. God sings and we sing.

Noise is formed on earth that has a heavenly audience and noise is formed in the heavens that reverberates on earth. Noise always has a response.

The king of the Psalms required the most skilled musos in the temple. Releasing the best possible sound in the House became the offering that was indeed precious and had value. Extravagant worship.

When noise becomes orderly and executed with skill, it becomes music. Notes, chord structures, lyrics and rhythm. Chaos becomes Beautiful. Honourable. Memorable. Worthy. God’s instructions are that we make it joyful and that we make it in truth.

Communicating the state of our heart is perhaps the most precious gift we have ever been given. This is the real art of noise.
