Devotional Poem:
Not By Might
Not by power, nor by might;
But by God’s own hand.
He, alone, can save the day
By His mere command.
Just obey. Follow His lead.
Then watch what He will do.
For when you’re facing battles,
He can win each one, for you.

Discussion Questions :
1. Do birds sing a song ? Crickets , Frogs ? Have you ever listened to their songs ?
2. Have you ever heard the rain splash against a window or into puddles ?
3. Did you know the whales in the ocean have been heard singing ?
4. Did you know in some recorded music , sounds of nature --
such as bird songs, whale songs and falling rain are blended into the music ?
5. Do you sing or play an instrument ?
6. How many instruments can you name ?
7. Have you ever thought of yourself as
an instrument ?
Let's focus on the last question because you are an instrument of God . Your heartbeat, your voice , your hands are created to praise God and the sounds that come from you can and do praise Him .
There are sounds that we can make as well that
may not sound like music ....right ?
We know what screaming sounds like
and how we feel when we hear others around us bickering and arguing .
These sounds come from us as well .They do not sound like music at all !
A piano can be played carefully and thoughtfully.
Someone can also bang on the keys in an irritating way
and then - noise comes out ---not music. A trumpet can sound bold , triumphant and clear or if played the wrong way - can be a sound of pure disturbance !
Well...the same goes for people.
Let's read now a few verse from Ephesians :
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour,
and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.-- Ephesians 4:31-32
God designed us to be peacemakers, musical , joyful , loving and tenderhearted
and He desires us to walk this way and be this way with one another as much as
possible .
What kind of instrument do you want to be for God ?
Will you be as a song for Him , the way He intended you to be ?
Did you know He sings over His children ? Yes . God sings !
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;
he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy;
he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
