Lately, I have been struggling inside trying to figure out what part am I supposed to play in God’s ministry here on earth. What if I’m a leg that is trying to be an arm? Or an arm that is trying to be a leg? I didn’t know what the answer, until today.
Playing “Wonderful Cross” on my old but reliable Godin guitar, tears started streaming down my face. I love playing guitar and God made me sound good at it. At least to my ears. You see, I’ve been wanting to play bass guitar because I think it was cool. But now that I’m playing bass, I started to miss playing guitar. While in my state of emotion, my wife came in and ask me what was happenning. After I told her what I was feeling, she told me that God wants me to be where God needs me. And it struck me. Maybe it’s not a permanent part that we are playing here on earth. It’s a dynamic thing. Later today, as supposed to playing bass, I landed the part of playing acoustic guitar for the Sunday service. It was a wonderful experience!
Would it have been different if I think that I should be playing bass or lead guitar? This I know, God wanted me to play acoustic guitar because he wanted me to. And that is more than enough for me …
