How Impt is music to God?

How Important Is Music To God?
"But now bring me a musician.
Then it happened, when the musician played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him."
- 2 Kings 3:15

The background of this story is that the king of Moab rebelled and came against Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And the kings of Judah, Israel and Edom were trapped in the wilderness and they do not have water and food. And the kings were desperate and asked for a prophet. And the prophet nearby was Elisha.
When the kings sought the Word of God from Elisha, Elisha only had one request:
"But now bring me a musician,
Then it happened, when the musician played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.

Elisha didn't ask for a general, an army or weapons. He asked for a musician.


Before there was even the first sin of lucifer and corruption at the VERY VERY BEGINNING.
God's three archangels (Most beautiful and powerful angels) were Gabriel, Michael and also
Lucifer (now known as satan or the devil).
And out of the three, Lucifer was the most beautiful. Lucifer was also established by God to be the angel of worship, one whose ministry surrounded the heart of heaven. Lucifer was created to dwell eternally in the throne room of heaven, in the very presence of God (Ezekiel 28:14).

If God created lucifer to be the most beautiful angel, and I EMPHASISE again, in the ORIGINAL PURPOSE. This shows how much music and worship means to God. Of course we know that lucifer lusted after the glory of God and pride entered into him and got cast down from the heavens.

This was such a big deal to God. Music...

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
-Ps 33:3
