EVER SINCE DR. JAN WUBBENA “TURNED ME ON” TO CLASSICAL MUSIC IN MY VISUAL ARTS AND MUSIC COURSE, THE “CONDUCTOR” HAS LOOMED LARGE.  A CONDUCTOR’S JOB IS TO GET EVERY  INSTRUMENT IN THE ORCHESTRA TO PLAY TOGETHER.  ONE OTHER HUGE IDEA I JUST GOT OFF THE INTERNET IS THAT “THE CONDUCTOR’S JOB IS TO DO JUSTICE TO THE COMPOSER.”

TAKING BOTH THOSE IDEAS, ONE MUST FIRST REALIZE THAT GOD IS THE CONDUCTOR, NOT ME.  I’M ONE OF THE INSTRUMENTS HE IS CONDUCTING.  BUT INSIDE THIS BODY OF MINE, THERE ARE MANY INSTRUMENTS.  PAUL SAYS,

“LIKEWISE RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.  (12)  LET NOT SIN THEREFORE REIGN IN YOUR MORTAL BODY, THAT YE SHOULD OBEY IT IN THE LUSTS THEREOF.  (13)  NEITHER YIELD YE YOUR MEMBERS AS INSTRUMENTS OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO SIN: BUT YIELD YOURSELVES UNTO GOD, AS THOSE THAT ARE ALIVE FROM THE DEAD, AND YOUR MEMBERS AS INSTRUMENTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO GOD.  (14)  FOR SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: FOR YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE.”

ROMANS 6:11-14 

 I HAVE MANY “INSTRUMENTS” IN MY BODY; I NEED TO FOLLOW THE LEAD OF THE CONDUCTOR – THE HOLY SPIRIT – SO THAT HE CAN DO JUSTICE TO THE COMPOSER.

STAY BLESSED!!
