When I was in the 5th grade, going to a southern babtist Christian school, I got into an argument about music with my teacher (the principal's wife).

She was making an argument that the devil had corrupted instruments had been corrupted and hymnals were the only music for God.

I asked for a sign, and opened my bible, straight to psalms 150

Psalm 150 King James Version 150 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

I showed my teacher and she was shaken. I don't remember her response, as it was meaningless after God answered my question. There was certainly evil at that school, but God showed me in that evil place that every instrument, everything that hath breath should praise the Lord.

Letting God speak through you while playing music is one of the highest forms of worship.
