Through Music

These past couple of weeks I have been having a hard time writing on here. As I would sit down to start writing my mind would just draw a blank and then it would be as if a million thoughts would come racing in all at once. I knew what I wanted to write but I just couldn't focus, so many thoughts racing in all at once, it was driving me up the wall, I felt like I was being pulled in 50 different directions all at once. On my way to church I asked the Lord to help me focus, to pretty much "defrag" my mind and get my thoughts in order. Listening to our musical guest tonight at church did just that. The piano and violin are my two most favorite instruments, violin being the first, and when played together they make the most beautiful music. Through the use of these instruments tonight the Lord showed me what it was that was causing me to loose focus, I was beginning to focus more on my current problems then on my relationship with the Lord, I wasn't keeping up with my devotions and was falling behind in my daily reading of God's word, and because of that I was beginning to make a mess of things. In order for beautiful music to come out of these instruments you need 3 things, the instrument, the sheet music, and the musician, but the main thing you need is the sheet music. This is why I love classical music so much because this is how I see it. My life is the instrument, and I am the musician, the bible is my sheet music. When put together it's a thing of beauty. If while the musician was playing, he began to focus on other things and not on the music in front of him, he would began to make mistakes and his music would sound ugly. Like so, if we do not focus upon Gods word it is easy for us to stumble and make mistakes in our daily walk with God. As the musician plays for the audience, we live life for our Father in Heaven, He is our audience; and as we live daily by His word, He smiles and sees a thing of beauty. We are all musicians, and I like to believe that when the Lord looks upon us from Heaven, He sees an entire orchestra playing their best for Him.
