Devotionals
I step through the door with dread in my every move. The room is Peaceful and familiar but still I am not at ease. At any other time stepping through this door would be a pleasure, but today….
The teacher did not greet me at the door but soon He comes and offers His welcome. With the greeting complete I am quickly ushered to my judgment, my lesson.
It is not the teacher or the lesson itself that holds menace. No, today, I fear my own inadequacy. I fear because I know I will fall short. Not only will my melody lack perfection, but it will also fall far below the standard I am capable of.
How do I know this? I know because I am the one who did not practice. It was me who was distracted, busy, and undisciplined. I will fail because I failed to give my all.
So today, as I stand before the teacher, I am ashamed. He is soon to discover my shirking. I know that no harsh discipline awaits me but still I dread the moment of reckoning. I dread the moment He realizes that His teaching has been wasted on an unworthy novice.
As the lesson progresses I am surprised that no rebuke is given. I can see the disappointment in His eyes as He listens and corrects; yet still He teaches. My apparent failure has not swayed his devotion. Though I was faithless in practice He is ever faithful in teaching. Though today, my fingers clumsily pound out the tune, He hears how the melody will one day soar. Though I had, for a moment, forgotten my purpose, He will ever be vigilant to His. He never ceases to teach.

Another sweet lesson for the reader. I've been on both sides of the piano bench, student and teacher. Good work on this!
