Who is playing?
The setting for this story. It was the fall of the year in Minneapolis, time for the spring clothing show. I had moved to Minneapolis to work when I was 21. My friend Bob happened to come into the place I worked. He told me why he was in the cities, and asked. "Would you like to go to the clothing show"? It didn't take long to answer my friend. I was excited to go to the event, hors d' oeuvre, conversation, and live entertainment.
We walked into Macy's, went to the 7th floor, and started the evening. As I was looking at the stage I noticed a tuba setting on a chair. Is this the live entertainment? A tuba? A one man band? Don't they know this is the age of rock!
The time had come, and the one man band started. He caught my attention immediately. I had no idea that a tuba could talk. He would make a statement, then say let me show you, and answer with music. It was very entertaining, the time went too quickly. After the man was through, Bob said "that was really good". I agreed it was fantastic.
I liken us to the tuba, instruments of God. Too often we try to play ourselves. We don't make a joyful sound unto the Lord. We just make noise. Today, would you consider with me to let the Lord pick us up and make music? Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the Earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. PSALMS 98:4 (KJV).
