I’ll let you in on a little secret. Don’t tell anyone else. It’s just between you and me. OK? Good. The secret is…I haven’t been playing music with all my might for the past few years. I used to practically live for music. It was the way I made a living. Then, things got weird in the venues, and I took a turn. But I decided to get back on the music highway. I read a quote by C.S. Lewis that said “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream another dream”. And I wanna take that to heart. Do you feel that way, too? Good…and I’ll tell you why…
There’s a place in the Bible where it says King David and all Israel played music before God with all their might. It says they used harps, tambourines, stringed instruments, horns, and they sang. Why is this important? At least to me? Because it shows that even an earthly king knew he had to put all he had into it. After all, he was playing music before the Creator of the universe…the inventor of music. The music King David and all Israel played was to do what they could do to show gratitude.
With whatever days I have left here on good ol’ planet Earth, I wanna show that kind of enthusiasm and gratitude with the musical gifts God gave me. And I need to do it before I’m so old that playing with all my might…might not be all that much.
