I was flipping through the channels the other night and something caught my attention, the New York Philharmonic on PBS. I'm really not much of a symphony kind of guy but there was something about this program that made me stop and watch the entire show. The music was amazing, but that's not what held my interest, it was the precision and complexity of the performance. Being a musician myself I know how much time is spent preparing for a concert. To play an instrument at this caliper one would spend thousands of hours of individual practice to hone the gift God has given them to share with the world. Then there are hundreds of hours spent practicing the music for the performance. Add in the many hours of rehearsals with the full orchestra and you have a lifetime devoted to this one moment in time, opening night.
What would happen today if we spent thousands of hours honing the gifts that God has given us to share with the world? What would happen today if we spent hundreds of hours practicing for the performance? What would happen today if we rallied together as men of God to collectively prepare ourselves for that one moment in time, the day Jesus returns?
What would happen today...?
1 Peter 1:13
Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
