I am a big music lover. One particular genre of music that I have always been intrigued by is symphonies. Although you have all these different instruments with different attributes playing at one time, they play at the same tempo, complementing each other with perfect pitch, harmony, and timing. Everyone is literally and figuratively playing from the same sheet of music. Solos happen, but only at specific times.
It amazes me that all these individually talented musicians are led by a single conductor. The conductor doesn’t play the instruments, he/she just directs. This type of mentality reminds me of the Ultimate Conductor, God. And each of us represents instruments of His love and grace. All of are different instruments, but as a whole we complement each other perfectly.
Like the conductor of an orchestra, His role is to direct His universal symphony, not play the instruments. He has given all of His children special gifts, talents, and abilities. He expects us to develop and maximize what He’s given us – to play at the highest level, the level of a maestro.
When we don’t develop and utilize what we’ve been given, something is missing from His symphony. The harmony isn’t quite right. The sound isn’t as full. The listeners are cheated of a fulfilling experience. And the Conductor is disappointed.
From another perspective, as talented as each musician may be, they realize the orchestra is bigger than one instrument. It takes all instruments performing a specific piece at a specific time to make the symphony the best it can be. If any musician wants to do his/her own thing, it throws everyone else out of sync. Are you living in sync with the people with which you live, work, and play, or are you playing dissonant chords?
In order to get the best experience from God’s “symphony of life”, you have to be on the same page with the Conductor. That means you need to read from the sheet music He has already written, the Bible. This incredible book provides the right notes, timing, and insights to help you maximize your ability to play the instrument that was specifically designed for your life.
You will ultimately experience frustration and failure if you try to write your own symphony. Your attitude should be to do what God is blessing. Don’t ask God to bless what you are doing, because you might be playing music that He didn’t write or you’re trying to play the right thing at the wrong time.
In order to be fulfilled in your role in His symphony, you need to be well versed in what He’s doing during this season of your life. Study His Word and stay connected to Him and His people. Practice to improve your skills, talents, and abilities. Don’t try to steal the spotlight by playing solo until it’s your time to do so. Follow where the Director is leading so you can be a beautiful piece of the most glorious composition ever written.
