Stars Really Do Sing

Scientists are discovering what God knew all along.  Stars are musical.  You could even say they sing. Gives new meaning to being a star.

Let’s start in Job 38.  God is basically asking Job who he is to question God’s judgment.   Starting in verse 3:

³ Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.

⁴ “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.

⁵ Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?

⁶ On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone-

⁷ while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?

⁸ “Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,

⁹ when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,

¹⁰ when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,

¹¹ when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt’?

¹² “Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place,

Read the whole thing.  It’s very cool!

Did you notice verse 7?

⁷ while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?

The morning stars sing together?  Really?  Really!

I blogged about this a few years ago, but today I found an update.  Scientists have now recorded some of the music that our Sun is “singing”

From the article:

Astronomers at the University of Sheffield have managed to record for the first time the eerie musical harmonies produced by the magnetic field in the outer atmosphere of the sun.

They found that huge magnetic loops that have been observed coiling away from the outer layer of the sun’s atmosphere, known as coronal loops, vibrate like strings on a musical instrument.

I guess God knew what He was talking about.

When I was a kid in Sunday School and a lover of science, I still remember how my Sunday School teacher told me that the Bible talked about springs in the ocean. Springs that scientists were just discovering. Doctors know that laughter does do good like a medicine! Studies also show that prayer works.

You can trust God! And that is music to my ears.
