Trusting God During Misunderstanding
Lamentations 3:14, “I was a derision to all my
people; and their song all the day.”
It is rewarding when others sing your
compositions, but it is another thing when they make fun of you with their musicing.
In his Lamentations, Jeremiah, in verse one of Chapter Three recounted that, “I
am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. One must read the complete chapter or it will
appear that Jeremiah was completely negative.
However in verse twenty two states, “It is of the LORD'S mercies that we
are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.”
If you take a stand musically, you
are probably going to be made fun of by others.
This derision may come from those that are close enough to you to hurt
you deeply. The only musicians that I
know that are not misunderstood at times are those who are not doing anything
for the Lord musically. So, get prepared
to be misunderstood and at the same time get prepared to understand that the
Lord will not let you be “consumed”. The
Psalmist put it this way in Psalm 121:2 which is one of one of the songs of ascents, “ My help cometh
from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.”
Since the creator of the universe desires to help you, let Him do it
when you are misunderstood.
