Some Chief Musicians
Feed on Ashes
Isaiah 44:20 uses an unusual statement,
“He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart
hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a
lie in my right hand?”
This verse is an exhortation about the
folly of idol makers. Have you made an
idol lately? Do you have any idols that
you have made or purchased in the past?
Do you have any idols that were given to you? I ask these questions because I know several
musicians who are now worshiping their “idols”.
Some Christian musicians get side-tracked
by things they love more than God. They
have no quit worshiping God but they have other trinkets that are “before”
Him. As a matter of fact, they are very
good at acts of worship. They seem to
worship very well in church because they have developed their worship skills to
the point of near perfection. They know
all the words to the latest worship choruses and they are able to put clever
worship sequences together. However,
they worship trinkets and toys and a host of things more than they worship
God. Anything that obscures the face of
God in our lives is “before” (paniym 6440)
God.
