I once heard a lady say that because her voice was bad, she
needed an instrument to express her true love of God. What is she telling God?
The instrument of her voice that He created was not good enough to express what
He meant to her, she needed another object, that while He gave someone the
skill and knowledge to build it is nevertheless once removed from His Creation.
It is the musician’s invention. And I know there are tone deaf people, but when
these people sing to God with more enthusiasm than someone with a pretty voice
it is hard to say that God is not pleased, for they are relying on Him and not
an instrument. These people are truly worshipping the Creator and not the
Created. So there are two types of out of synch here, one in which the person
doesn’t care how off key, it is the attitude that counts; and the other in
which the person feels inadequately created so that person uses and instrument
in place of what God has made. On the surface most people feel sorry for the
first and take the other one’s side. On the other hand, deeper, the person that
cannot carry a tune and yet has enthusiasm in singing to God understands the
weakness within the physical body and the strength in God, and that person can
boast in his weakness. (2 Corinthians 10:8-18 ) That person also knows an
instrument cannot save, but the God that is the Almighty God and Jesus can.
