Filling
Your Spiritual “Gas Tank” at Christmas
Isaiah 40:31 states, “But they that wait upon the
LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Earlier we talked about God preparing the salvation road so that we
could experience His saving grace. Today
we are going to talk about musicians taking time to be holy. Each Christian musician should take a moment
and take a spiritual inventory. Every
busy Christian should think about refilling his or her “Spiritual gas
tank”. We are eleven days into the month
of December. Many musicians are in the
midst of Christian music program preparations.
When one is so very busy, it is easy to become empty spiritually.
Many
times Christian musicians run almost “empty” during the Christmas season. We rationalize that there is just too much to
do to read, meditate on God’s Word, and pray.
So, as a result, we run out of gas right in the middle of a
rehearsal. Our spiritual engine spits
and sputters because our eight cylinder spiritual engine is only hitting on two
cylinders. At this point we cut off some
poor tenor’s head for chewing gum or we growl at the two giggling sopranos that
refuse to settle down and rehearse.
What
causes us to make such mistakes? I’m
sure that you are way ahead of me. You
have already figured out that these outbursts are the result of nerves and a
lack of taking time to be holy. These
mistakes take place because you failed to wait upon the Lord and let Him renew
your strength. The only way that you
will be able to soar like an eagle when you are under pressure is to let God
take off some of the load that is on your back.
Right now ask Him to remove the part of your load that you are not able
to carry any longer.
