Prepare for an inspiring journey where faith meets action. In today’s episode, we explore how your life can be transformed into a beautiful symphony when you allow God to play your instrument. Through the profound teachings from Philippians 2:13, we discuss God's role in empowering us to fulfill His purpose.

We recount the touching story from Myra Brooks Welch's poem, "The Touch of the Master's Hand," where a worn violin finds its true value through the skilled touch of a master musician—a reminder that our lives can hold incredible worth when guided by the Divine. This narrative challenges listeners to embrace their life’s potential instead of settling for mere existence. 

We also tackle the significant contrast between merely believing in faith versus taking action. As we unpack these themes, we emphasize that the smallest action can often yield the largest impact, especially when it aligns with our faith. The call to live out our beliefs resonates throughout the episode, pushing us all toward meaningful engagement with our spirituality. 

Join us and discover how, as part of God’s orchestra, our unique contributions create a harmonious world that reflects His glory. Don’t forget to subscribe, share your thoughts, and leave a review—let's continue this transformative conversation together!

Let's get started.

00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:27.492
Today is Day 64, Transformation Performing.

00:00:27.492 --> 00:00:31.242
From the book of Philippians, chapter 2, verse 13,.

00:00:31.242 --> 00:00:40.412
From the New Living Translation, it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:47.012
Myra Brooks Welch wrote a beautiful poem titled the Touch of the Master's Hand.

00:00:47.012 --> 00:00:53.453
It tells the story of an auctioneer trying to sell an old, battered violin, one that nobody wanted.

00:00:53.453 --> 00:01:01.284
But everything changed when a master musician picked it up and played it with such grace and skill that the selling price skyrocketed.

00:01:01.284 --> 00:01:04.852
The transformation happened because of performance.

00:01:04.852 --> 00:01:09.385
The touch of the master's hand revealed the true value of the violin.

00:01:09.385 --> 00:01:18.673
In the same way, when we allow our lives to be instruments played by God, we can hardly believe the beautiful music that he produces through us.

00:01:18.673 --> 00:01:26.293
Satan, on the other hand, is perfectly content with someone confessing Christianity, as long as they don't live it out.

00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:31.703
The power of our faith lies in action, as the saying goes.

00:01:31.703 --> 00:01:35.052
The first two letters of doctrine are due.

00:01:35.052 --> 00:01:39.689
No farmer ever plowed a field by merely thinking about it.

00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:44.185
And the smallest action is a lot of times better than the grandest intention.

00:01:44.185 --> 00:01:45.908
And the smallest action is a lot of times better than the grandest intention.

00:01:45.927 --> 00:01:57.522
When we start playing the violin that God has given us, acting on His calling, our true worth in His kingdom is revealed as we take those steps of faith.

00:01:57.522 --> 00:01:59.582
God is working within us.

00:01:59.582 --> 00:02:03.165
His Spirit empowers our willing and our working.

00:02:03.165 --> 00:02:09.109
With the touch of the Master's hand, we're capable of playing any song he sets before us.

00:02:09.109 --> 00:02:15.894
Our obedient service to God is our best performance, shining like a light in the world.

00:02:15.894 --> 00:02:30.215
When we follow the lead of our Master Conductor, God's brilliance is revealed and His glory shines more brightly than ever through our lives.

00:02:30.215 --> 00:02:37.080
Pray with me, Father, God of grace and power.

00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.383
We are your orchestra, ready to follow your musical score.
