There is another way to look at it. While God gives us a
great deal of latitude, He still expects growth. What nurtures our growth,
reliance on other things or on Him? Where am I getting my food? David, as
wonderful and inspiring a man as He was, was still a man. I must always keep
that into perspective. I must be sure, because those walls will tumble like the
walls of Jericho if not. I must begin to look for tools that will bring me
closer to God rather than to pull me away, no matter how innocent these may be
initially. I must love God, and therefore must love my brother and live in
peace.
I play piano. Not surprisingly, the piano is my favorite
type of instrument in any piece of music I hear. I am awe inspired by piano.
And the piano in and of itself is just a tool, not an ends. I must not glorify
that above God. Only the LORD is exalted, only He is in control of all things
(Is 40:4-11). He has provided me with a place here on earth, and He wants me to
be with Him in heaven so He has sent His son to show me how to live in peace
and how to love. And that is when I emerge from being out of sorts. That is
when I begin to see that perhaps I need to do things differently, to do things
not my way but God’s way
