Why do you do it?
Someone passed along a nugget recently and it has been bouncing around in my head ever since. Hopefully it will do the same for (to?) you.
Our friends at 48 Days posted a quote from noted theologian A.W. Tozer that dealt primarily with a person’s vocation, but applies equally well to our avocation, our passion, of music:
“It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, but why he does it.”
A.W. Tozer
So…why do you do it?
Whether overtly or covertly, whether we realize or admit it or not, we’re all spiritual creatures…and music touches us at our very deepest level. Most of us play music of various types, and most play both sacred and secular music, depending upon the occasion.
Regardless of what you may play, take a moment to think about it. Why do you do it? Coming to an understanding of the ‘why’ may help you reach a deeper understanding of yourself and take your music to a whole new level.
Keep playing,
Mark
