Guitars, Lenses and Humans

Last night we played a show with Hyland and Kaboose, and while I watched from the back I noticed what I always notice: the case with a million guitars. And as always, I wonder....why do they seem to have a different guitar for each song they strum?

Well this time when I wondered, I took that image to my own bag full of lenses. Okay, now I can relate. Each guitar must have a unique sound to really bring out just the right sound for that particular song.....JUST like how I have different lenses that will emphasize and capture just the right detail for a particular image.

So then, let's see this through God's perspective.....he has all kinds of different people, for unique and specific stories that will be used in just the right place and time to show God's kingdom just the way He plans. Wow!

So no matter what kind of character we are, whether we are good at worship, speaking, teaching, hospitality, healing, or anything else, God plans to use you! Yes, use YOU! He has a specific purpose for your life, a story for you to be a part of, and He's just waiting to bring you on stage at just the right moment.

He's ready, are you?

For everything there is an appointed time, and an appropriate time for every activity on earth: (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function,so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another.(Romans 12:4-5)
