Have you ever heard the expression face the music? Here’s how that phrase came about. Many years ago, a man wanted to play in the Imperial Orchestra, but he couldn’t play in note. And since he was a person of great wealth and influence, however, he demanded to be allowed to join the orchestra so that he could perform in front of the king. The conductor agreed to let him sit in the 2nd row of the orchestra. Even though he couldn’t read music, he was given a flute, and when a concert would begin, he would raise his instrument, pucker his lips, and move his fingers. He went through all the motions of playing, but he never made a sound. Many of us go through the motions of the Christian life. We attend church, our youth group, or other inspirational meetings, recite Bible verses and say all the right things. In reality, though, we are fakes, sometimes. A time is coming when all of us will be called to stand before the judge of heaven and earth and face the music. No one will be able to hide in the crowd. The phonies will be separated from the true players. God loves us and wants us to do our very best for him. Each day. You do that today. God bless you, Captain Ken Chapman.
