It starts out by talking about how musicians these days will do anything and everything to reach their high rise to fame. It also says that in the bible times, the ultimate God worshipper would spend his time guarding his family and cattle. His songs would be based off of God's goodness and faithfulness to his community. There is no impurity or blemish blocking him from the presence of God. Music artists these days will talk all about their problems, issues, love, or any other worldly thing. God has equipped us all with certain talents and abilities, but the most important thing he looks upon is the heart. A heart that isn't self-focused, but rather instead it's shifted upon God and who he is. This reflects the way Jesus lived when he came to the earth. His whole purpose in life was to serve. Anyone who wants to be first will be last.
I like what this chapter says because it is so true. Our society has greatly changed on the view of music. I have to constantly prep myself before leading worship, knowing that the worship is not about me, but the one who created me. I have to remind myself and pray that my worship would be specifically glorifying to his name and his attributes. Being humble keeps him in the right place he should be in our lives.
