"I discipline my body and bring it into subjection" 1 Co 9:27 (NKJV)SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR TODAY
Artists not only love beauty and see it in places others don't, they're uniquely gifted to create it. They express their individuality in bold ways that enrich us all. They bring color and flair to a world that would otherwise be drab. But since none of us can live in the ideal world of our imagination, artists are sometimes all equipped to live in the real world with ...its problems and pressures. The same sensitivity that makes them creative often enslaves them to emotional swings that put people off, and ends up destroying the artist himself. (From Michael Jackson to Prince, the history books tell the story.)
The biblical character King David was artistic. He was a gifted poet, dancer, and composer of many songs. But his inability to control his impulses culminated in an affair that led to murder and the devastation of his family. Understand one thing: Every strength the Most High gives you has a corresponding weakness that must be identified and handled in the right way. The more talented you are, the more disciplined you must be. (The biblical character) Paul was wise enough to recognize his own proclivities: "I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest...when I have preached to others, I myself should be castaway."
The last few decades have proven that even people The Most High gifted to build great churches and lead great ministries aren't immune to temptation. Where there is great talent-there is great temptation. So, seek refuge in the wisdom of the Most High. (Source: Word of Today) (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)
