We all seem to think that we all know what is best and how to conduct our lives each day. Many jump into the day without consulting the One that can make our day productive and useful. I once heard a man that owned several beautiful violins. He had them merely on display. A musician was visiting in the home and begged to buy one of the beautiful violins but the owner would not sell one. The musician then asked to play one and finally the owner consented. The violin made such a wonderful melody that the owner cried out, “Take it! It is yours! You know how to use it for what it was designed for.” Like those violins, our lives are designed to be more than a display of Christian values. Our lives are to make a melody for God. May we place our lives into the hands of God, who knows how to use us for His glory!
