- I had an
interesting experience today that I think ought to be the norm
for those who have decided to follow Christ.
I was playing the Beethoven Missa
Solemnis tonight with the symphony, and I began to faint. It
was actually during a sort of solo spot, and although I was playing,
things began to turn black and I started to go out.
- Who knows why
- it was hot, I had not had dinner, I am fifty-two and quite
busy. I don't know, and it is not important. But as I began
to loose consciousness, it dawned on me that this might be the
enemy, and that I ought to resist.
It took all there was I could draw
on, but I decided not to faint. Not because it was a concert,
but because it might be the enemy. As I began to call upon the
Lord for help against the enemy the fog lifted,
and I had not even lost my place.
You can think of all sorts of human
reasons for things like this, but the Bible teaches us to be
vigilant.
- Lord,
make me into the sort of soldier that you can speak to and use
at any time, any place. I want to be willing to obey because
you said so, and not rely on my own tiny little experience or
knowledge. I want again to commit to you my time and faculties
to use as you see fit. Please, please, make me into a no-matter-what
sort of servant.
