I cry out to God Most
High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. Psalm
57:2
Being so passionate about music, people often ask me why I
never pursued a career in the industry.
For one, I can barely hold a tune.
Not to mention, I can’t read music and I am simply not proficient at
playing an instrument. I was a DJ at one
time on an FM radio station I Alabama and enjoyed it very much, but there is
more to it than sitting in a production booth and spinning tunes for a radio
audience. As only our Loving Father can
work out, God has blessed me in profound ways that have intertwined both my
love for music and my love for Jesus 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 First United Methodist
Church. More recently, here in
Knoxville, I am equally blessed to serve on the audio/video production team at
Cokesbury Church's West Campus some Sundays.
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.
