Musical Instruments, Christmas Devotional, Isaiah 9:6 | Debbie Taylor Williams

Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members INSTRUMENTS of RIGHTEOUSNESS to God. Romans 6:12-13

Musical instruments play a key role in the Christmas season. While the secular world plays jingles, Christians use music to encourage and bless others by focusing on Jesus’ birth. Decorating with angelic harps and trumpets remind us to praise Christ our King, whose birth we celebrate. In addition, musical instruments remind us that Christians are God’s instruments. We are instruments of His grace. We are instruments of His love. In His hands, He can use us to herald people to His throne. With that in mind, sweet friends, let us tune our hearts to God each morning. Let us keep our thoughts and voices in harmony with Him. Let us rest in the Master’s hands trusting Him to make all things beautiful in His time.
