Gift of Music (finding God in music)

I went roller skating with my friends last night. Later at home, after a good three hours of invigorating exercise, fun, soda, and more fun, I couldn't get those songs out of my head. Whip My Hair by Willow Smith, Replay by Iyaz, and well, Party In the USA by Miley Cyrus. Thank God the dirty songs didn't get stuck in my head. Anyway, while I was singing these songs over and over and making a playlist due to the fact that they were lodged in my brain, I was thinking. How can I find Jesus in these songs? In these secular songs?
I want to find Jesus in all the parts of my life.
Sure, I might just rattle off a lame 'well, God made music so...'
But then I stopped and thought about that 'lame' answer.
Really thought about it.

You guys, God gave us music.
He didn't have to.
Music, the thing that virtually everyone in the world understands. The speed, the beat, the pitch, the variation, the buzz, the deep sounds, the light sounds, the loud, the quiet.
God could have made our world monotone. Or, He could have made it silent.
"Hey guys, what if we put a bit more breath into our talking, and put it to rythym?"
The thought probably wouldn't even cross our minds if God didn't create music- if it didn't exist.
But He did. And it's incredible.
An absolutely amazing gift.

And as big as music is, as much as it varies and spreads out...
God is bigger.
He created it.
Music is His, and He's given us the ability to make it. The beats, the buzz, the twang, however we do- It's His gift to us, we'd better use it.
Let's praise Him with it.

1 Chronicles 13:8- David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, singing songs and playing all kinds of musical instruments—lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
