The story has been told of Nicolo Paganini, the great violinist, whose Will gave his famous violin to the city of his birth, Genoa, Italy…on condition that it never be played. It’s the nature of violins to become seasoned, lustrous and lovely as long as they are handled; but as soon as they are put away, they decay and become worthless.

You yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another.

Romans 15:14

Consider that you are an instrument in the hands of a loving God who has filled you with gifts and abilities. Over time spent in His Word and prayer, you become seasoned, lustrous and spiritually lovely, knowledgeable and able to instruct one another as today’s verse says. In Ephesians 5:19, it says you will speak to one another “in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart.”

Are you using the gifts God has given you? Are you ready to instruct someone else? Submit yourself to the hands of your loving Creator. He will guide you through His Word and give you a new song. Pray, too, that the halls of government might one day fill with psalms and praise to the Lord Jesus Christ.
