What is the Christian musician like? Part 4
Psalm 1:3 b states, “...his leaf also shall not wither...” Sometimes I like to think that God’s trees are evergreen trees. At least we know that their Christian testimony does not wither and dry up and become useless. Since the leaves on God’s trees are always full of spiritual chlorophyll, we know that all His trees are continually full of sap. We know that sap contains the life supporting fluids that flow up and down the tree through the vascular tissue called xylem and phloem. The spiritual vascular system of God’s evergreen trees is never dormant. His Spirit is continually flowing through the Christian musician’s spiritual vascular system.
One of the testimonies that the Christian musician is continually sustained and alive is that the Christian has a vibrant walk with Christ that shows in his or her life. Why is this positive testimony possible? It is possible because God’s sustaining power is ever flowing through the Christian’s spiritual vascular system. Hebrews 13:5b reminds us that God has promised, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
Because all of God’s evergreen trees are full of God’s goodness, they are able to make it through the storms of life. Dead trees will not bend easily during a storm. They also break when they are weighed down with ice and show. However, God’s sustaining nutrients are flowing through his evergreen trees. This will allow them to bend because God’s grace flowing through their spiritual vascular system allows them to be very flexible. These trees bend over when loaded with the troubles of life, almost as if they were praying, and before you know it they are as upright as a giant oak. When the Christian musician is regularly taking advantage of God’s nutrients (the means of grace) he or she is equipped with everything necessary to live a successful Christian life. God is a great and wise horticulturist who desires to commune with mankind. It is our responsibility to keep our spiritual vascular system working.
