Psalms

Sometimes, well most of the time, I want to be able to sit down and play beautiful melodies not only from my finger tips but from my soul. I wish the music would flow from me like it was meant to be, like there was a purpose for it in my life. I wish my voice would ring out sweet harmonies and blend to make a beautiful chorus to the Lord.

I suppose (supongo) that its all possible. If i was meant to have that talent I would. Either if it come naturally or by dedication to the art of the music, has no bearing. I believe that God will equip you and then bless you with all the talents you need to serve him and bring him glory. In his time, if you let him.

There are so many things I wish to do, to make a difference. But I haven't done any of them and I don't know why. A lack of time, a lack of creativity and feasibility, or is it fear? But what would I fear in doing them if I am doing them for the glory of the Father? Maybe that i'm afraid that I would hear what he has to say to me.

I pray that the Lord will use me, but am I letting it happen? If I was listening to the Lord, wouldn't I be planning a half marathon to support world vision; or how about a girls retreat for the girls at crossroads and even outside its walls? They desperately need to be reached and it become known that they are beautiful, they are valued, and they are wanted. Our society is a powerful enemy that believers need to stand against in the name of the Lord. He will conquer all, so why aren't we winning? Are we not believing? Are we not praying? Where is our faith?

Maybe it's stuck in the "maybes." We all have them. Maybe one day I will plan that marathon, and maybe one day someone will reach out to bring light to young girls living in darkness. But maybe, just maybe, someone is listening. And they are letting God use them. I pray that they will be examples to all. And I pray that all fear that is not of the Lord be cast deep into the pits of hell so that believers will boldly stand and proclaim the good news.

And that news is the most beautiful music anyone could play. You see, we all have it. But its "maybes," fear, and deaf ears that we have also. I pray that we can overcome these and truly seek the Lord in all our ways.

I'm reminded how powerful prayer is, and its astonishing. I can't imagine what it could do, but He has a plan for every word. "Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge." --Psalm 62:8
