The prophet Elisha understood the benefit of having a minstrel play to cultivate an atmosphere in which he could prophesy. He promptly foretold the victory God’s people would have in battle that day.

Many churches cultivate an atmosphere for the Lord’s Spirit with musical instruments. Although not currently popular, I remember the piano and organ playing before a service would begin to prepare an atmosphere of worship for church attenders. God loves to hear music directed to Him.

PRAYER: Father, we will sing play instruments unto You because You have been so good to us.
