An Instrument in the Lord's Hands

We are all Instruments... But whose hands are you in?


I love playing guitar. It is one of my favorite things to do! Before i came to Tennessee to serve as a full time missionary, I was in a band with my best friend Montana. We played, wrote, and recorded alot of songs, and played alot of shows and yes... I had long hair.

 I have been thinking lately about how we are all instruments! An instrument such as guitar, when properly played and cared for and loved makes amazing music for all to hear! But how can we be that instrument in the Lord's hand? How do we avoid being an instrument in the hands of someone else? I don't know why I am asking you cuz I might as well just tell you...

In the scriptures over and over Jesus tells us to follow him and his father's plan! I'm not going to tell you the scriptures where it says that so that you go and find it for yourself! #scripturechase #gameon  The Savior came to the earth to teach the Gospel. His Gospel. The Gospel that his father (God) told him to teach. He layed out for us these things to help us get back to our Father in heaven, and to become the best instrument in HIS hands.

FAITH
REPENTANCE
BAPTISM
RECEIVING THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST
ENDURING AND ENJOYING TO THE END

Being an instrument is a good thing. I can promise that if a guitar that is loved and used all the time could talk, he would say that he is happy, because he is doing what he was made to do! Make music and bring joy! We have that same purpose! We are here to be happy and to live life and gain experiences! The best way of doing that is by following what the Savior has asked us to do! His way guarantees joy and lasting happiness. Any other way CANNOT bring us that lasting joy and happiness!


 We all have the ability to reach our greatest potential but it is gonna take some help from the greatest musician of all time.The Lord! He created all of us to do great things! No matter what has happened to us he can fix us and build us back up! Just like a broken instrument can be fixed up and made new, we can all do the same! Every instrument has a history and a past and gets damaged and fixed just like us. We can choose to stay broken or ask our creator to fix us and be in his hands again. As we follow what the Savior has shown for us we will be fixed 100 out of 100 times.

Think about whose hands you are in right now. Don't be a TOOL. God has to deal with enough of those. Be an INSTRUMENT in the Lord's hands

  1. I love this post! It reminds me of a quote of President Faust: “You can be powerful instruments in the hands of God to help bring about this great work. … You can do something for another person that no one else ever born can do”. This helps us realize that we are ALL important and can help others. We may be able to inspire, help, or encourage someone like no one else. Never pass up a prompting to help another, you never know what impact you might have!
