A musical Dummie ( a Noob in music?)!!
I guess that’s me because I can’t read any music scores or the ‘taugeh’ they called notes... even though music touches my soul..
I was watching this programme about an acclaimed Conductor for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra- Herbert Von Karajan. The Conductor for this world renowned and prestigious Orchestra said this, ”even with my eyes closed, I can distinguish every sound and every note that is produced by every piece of the instrument played by my 120 musicians...” Imagine, how well his ears are tuned to every single sound produced.. totally amazing!
So what is that for me?? Faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God (Rom 10:17). It didn’t say “having heard” but it says HEARING- present continuous
Does Jesus still speak today? Are we able to distinguish His voice as the lamb will know the Shepherd’s voice?.. Am I able to discern His voice? Do I have the right Frequency and am I on the right channel? Am I counted in His Orchestra?
Jn1:1 The Word became life and the Word is Life... are we tuned in to hear what He has to say? or are we tone deaf?
In Jesus’ time, He went about healing the sick and feeding the thousands. There was a multitude that had followed Jesus and all were amazed having heard His sermon on the Mount and wondered how this son of a carpenter had such wisdom and authority until one day,Jesus said to eat of His flesh and drink of His blood ...all but 12 left because they were offended by what they heard (the Jews do not drink blood!! Well, we have the hind-sight now but imagine if you were there and Jesus asked you to eat His flesh and drink His blood)..Jesus then asked His disciples, “are you leaving also?” and Peter answered “where would we go because when YOU speak, Your word is life to my spirit...”
Sometimes we may not yet fully understand nor able to explain what His Word means but we know that there is something that He has deposited into our spirit.. even though we can’t defend or explain it in a public discourse- we know that the Word He spoke brings LIFE... liken to a seed that had fallen on good soil, in due time we will see and taste of the fruit... those who has ears ,let them hear...
Jesus only does what His Father asks Him to do- there is this in-built antenna in Him who has an unhindered 'reception', ever-tuned to His Father's voice.
Is my antenna up to hear from Him too? Am I fine-tuned to discern and recognise the voice of my Beloved and Lord? and then am I 'an amplifier' who magnifies the sound of the good news of Jesus Christ in HIStory? Am I a part of His great Orchestra who hears His heart-beat and become HIStory-makers..to be a Trail Blazer for Him?
Isa 50:4-5
...The Lord has given me, the tongue of the learned. That I should know how to speak a Word in season to him who is weary,He awakens me morning by morning, He awakens my ear to hear as the learned
The Lord has opened my ear and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away...
