Read about It

Read: Ephesians 2:10

A composer, or a person who writes music, can write music for an orchestra—a big group of many different types of instruments. In an orchestra, each instrument has a specific part to play. The drums may have a rat-a-tat-tat that keeps the beat while the flutes play the whistling high notes. The tubas play the low bass parts, and trumpets may blast the melody. On their own, the part that each instrument plays may not make much sense. However, when every instrument plays together, the music becomes a beautiful song. It finally makes sense.

God is like a composer who writes different parts for each instrument to play. He has one big plan to bring people into a right relationship with Him, and each of us has a part to play in it. When we think about the plans God has for us, we might get confused as to how it all makes sense. In these times, we can remember that each of us plays one small part in God’s big plan—and that helps things make more sense! God designed us to do the good things that He planned for us long ago.

When we choose to follow Jesus, we are choosing His plans over our own. We are saying that we trust the plans and the part He given us to play, even though we may not understand it. As we allow God to use us, He works through us to share His love with others and bring Him honor and glory.
