but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:12b
One of the most valuable lessons I have learned out of our families personal tragedy is how God orchestrates His people to help us recover from those personal crisis's.
Ever been to a orchestra concert? Most of us have. As you sit and listen to quality of the sounds coming from the stage you are likely impacted by how these different sounds come together to make a music masterpiece. Taking each piece separately doesn't have the same impact as hearing the combined efforts of all the pieces. A tuba doesn't quite have the same impact if played alone, but a tuba in a well placed bass section offers just the right notes at just the right time in the musical piece.
So it is in God's kingdom. We might think we are truly alone in this universe when bad things happen to us, but little do you know that God is sending members of the body of Christ to minister to us at just the right time and just the right place. We do not necessarily see it, but behind the scenes He is finding just the right person at just the right time with just the right talents to minister to the needs that you have at that moment.
God truly does love you. Two thousand years ago he sent his son to die on the cross for your sins. He paved a way for grace (God's riches at Christ expense) to come into your life. As we dwell on God's grace ask him to use you as an instrument of that grace. Then sit back and watch God place that instrument in His mighty orchestra ready to be used at just the right time to minister to the needs of others at just the right moment.
Now that is beautiful music music in God's Kingdom!
