Some Chief Musicians Feed on Ashes


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.
