Colossians 1:2 states, “To the saints and faithful
brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace
be unto you and peace, from God
our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
St
Paul wrote to the saints and faithful brethren who lived at Colosse. They were faithful saints. You can also be a faithful saint in the
twenty-first century. It is God’s grace that has made it possible for you a
faithful music minister and a saint.
Like
the Christians at Colosse your peace has come from God the Father and our Lord
Jesus Christ. Think of it, God has made
it possible for you to have faith, love, hope, grace and truth. Through our heavenly Father you have
knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual understanding.
God has made it possible for you to have spiritual strength, power,
patience, longsuffering, and joy. God
has delivered you from the power of darkness and has brought you into the
kingdom of Christ through forgiveness of sins and redemption through the blood
of Christ.
That
long list of good things should cause you to smile out of at least one side of
your mouth! Surely you should recognize
that God has provided for you in a marvelous manner out of His great spiritual storehouse. Musicians are sensitive people who are prone
to experience great highs and then plunge into the debts of despair
emotionally. If you are in an emotional
low place, I suggest that you re-read the list of good things mentioned above
that have been made a reality in your life. If you are currently really depressed,
perhaps you should read the list two or three times. Invite Satan to listen while you read the
list and as you read some of the precious promises in God’s Word. I promise you that he will flee at the sound
and reality of God’s inspired infallible Word.
