Food versus Music
Food versus music? A very serious question that was posed to me by the Holy Spirit. How important is food to the body and what part does music play?
Music is defined as an art of combining and organizing sounds along with other elements to create a composition. It incorporates rhythms, melody, harmony and voices to produce a beautiful sound. Food on the other hand is any solid substance that can be consumed by living organisms, especially by eating to sustain life. One maintains life and other is an expression of life. One feeds the soul, the other feeds the natural.
Paul, in 1 Corinthians 14:15, would liken singing (music) to praying. “I will sing with the Spirit and I will sing with the understanding also.” Ephesians 5:19, “speaking to yourself in Psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.”
In society today the emphasis is mostly on what we eat, as opposed to what we listen to. One feeds the physical, the other feeds us emotionally and spiritually. Sometimes we fail to realize that satan was in charge of music in Heaven, he was the worship leader. Ezekiel 28:13b explains it this way, “…. the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.” Music leads you into worship and praise to God but worldly music leads you into worship with satan. Whatever feeds the spiritual causes death or life.
God Bless.
