I was bathing and suddenly God spoke to me about drums.
Drums. It may seem to be just a wild and crazy instrument, but it's so much more than that.
The drum beats in a song plays an important role. It keeps the tempo of the whole song constant. No matter how fast it is, how slow it is, how complicated it is, the tempo remains the same. Throughout the songs, the guitar might be strummed with distortion, the bass giving the savvy groove, the drums sounds terrifyingly complex and fast- the tempo remains the same.
Once the beat goes wrong, the whole song gets ruin.
The guitar can't seem to follow the exact beat, for the drum beats are messy alongside with the unstable tempo. The bass is confused whether to follow the guitar or the drums, or perhaps it should just go with what it thinks it should go? So messed up.
Our lives should be like the drums. Constant. Consistent. May it be the way we do things or the time we spent- it all should be consistent(unless it is wrong). Not just that-
Our thoughts and feelings should be consistent (and calm) at all times.
No matter how bad situation maybe(as compared to the complexity of the drumming), how breathless it seem(the speed) and how hopeless it may appear- our mind(thoughts) should be calm and all times, consistent of what we thing and what we should think. Reflection of our daily walk is important, that we keep watch of what we do. A mind of a drummer is important when faced with a complicated and tense situation- we calm ourselves and think carefully in a constant speed to get the optinum result.
So much more. God spoke so much more. I so want to type everything else, but I find it so hard to type them out into words. His words are so simple but complex, so easy to understand yet so deep. I want to share everything, but I can't put them into words already.
But whatever the case, I know God's speaking to me, and I will obey Him.
For I know my God.
