创世之歌
我的母亲很爱唱歌。无论是扫地时，还是洗碗时，她总是唱着歌，或哼着小曲。我对她最后的记忆，便是一起唱她早年教给我的一首歌，那首歌表达了她心中的把握：因着耶稣，天堂的门已为她打开。
音乐和歌曲是我们生活中不可或缺的一部分——不管我们的歌声美如天使还是常常走调。根据圣经，自从创世以来，音乐和歌曲就一直伴随着我们。创世记第一章——创造的故事——就是以韵文书写的，像诗像歌一样。我喜欢想像天使们在神创造时，唱着这样的副歌和应着：“这是好的，一切都甚好！”
这首创世之歌，和许多其它诗歌一起融入在神给我们的话语中。除了诗篇，还有许多其它诗歌，以及有关诗歌的内容藏在神的话语中。许多经文都能安慰和鼓舞我们。然而，最重要的是，它们将我们指向那独一的真神，我们的创造主和救赎主，祂对我们的生命有一个计划。
愿我们被激励，在今天和每一天，都和天使一起歌唱赞美神。
今天，你有什么歌要献给神呢？别忘了也把它分享给别人！
亲爱的神，求祢开启我们的眼睛，看见祢的伟大和慈爱，好使我们在每天的生活中赞美祢。奉耶稣的名祷告，阿们。
创世记 1:1-5, 31; 约伯记 38:4-7
1起初，神创造天地。
2地是空虚混沌，渊面黑暗；神的灵运行在水面上。
3神说：“要有光”，就有了光。
4神看光是好的，就把光暗分开了。
5神称光为“昼”，称暗为“夜”。有晚上，有早晨，这是头一日。
4我立大地根基的时候，你在哪里呢？ 你若有聪明，只管说吧！
5你若晓得就说，是谁定地的尺度？ 是谁把准绳拉在其上？
6地的根基安置在何处？ 地的角石是谁安放的？
7那时，晨星一同歌唱； 神的众子也都欢呼。
The Creation Song
"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? . . . Who laid its cornerstone—while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?" — Job 38:4-7
My mother always sang. Whether she was sweeping the floor or washing dishes, she was always singing or humming a tune. One of my last memories of her was that we sang a song together that she had taught me years earlier, a song expressing her assurance that in Jesus the gates of heaven were open for her.
Music and song are an integral part of our lives—whether we can sing with the voice of an angel or scarcely carry a tune. According to God's Word, music and song have been with us since the creation of the world. Genesis 1, the story of creation, is written in verse, like a poem or song. I like to think of the angels joining in with God as they sang this refrain: "It is good; it is very good!"
This creation song, along with many others, has been incorporated into God's Word to us. In addition to all the songs in the book of Psalms there are also many other songs and references to singing tucked away in God's Word. Many of those passages comfort and encourage us. But, most of all, they point us to the one true God, our Creator and Redeemer, who has a plan for our lives.
May we be encouraged to join with the angels and sing God's praises today and every day.
Do you have song you'd like to sing to the Lord today? Be sure to share it with someone!
Dear Lord, open our eyes to your greatness and your love so that we may praise you every day of our lives. For Jesus' sake, Amen.
