I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. Psalm 57:2
Being into music, people often ask me why I didn’t pursue a career in the industry. For one, I can barely hold a tune. Second, I cannot read music and I am simply not proficient at playing an instrument. I was a DJ at one time and enjoyed it very much, but it’s not as simple as sitting in a production booth and just spinning tunes for a radio audience. Oddly enough, God has blessed me in profound ways that have intertwined both my love of music and my love for Christ.
Many years ago, I fulfilled a dream by becoming the bass player in a local band back in my small hometown in Alabama. This would have never been possible if I was not serving as a youth minister at the West Point FUMC at the time. Here in Knoxville, I am equally blessed to serve on the audio video production team at Cokesbury’s West Campus.
You see, God has created all of us with both a general purpose and a specific purpose. In a general sense, we are all to share the love of Christ with other people. In specific terms, we have all been given unique Spiritual gifts that God wants us to use to make a worthwhile contribution while we are here on earth.
The more we fulfill God’s general purpose, the more clear our specific purposes become.
