Many of us aspire to be someone GREAT in the Kingdom of God. And that is not a sin, rather even perhaps a requirement. After all, who does not want to do more for God?!?

However, the most significant spiritual driving force we all should pursue, above being greater, is being the best we can be with what we have in our hands!

If you seek to do your best at what you are doing, that makes you extremely useful in the Kingdom, maybe even the best in that area of Apostolic service!

Always longing, always looking over the fence of your limitations is not the best way to live your life unto the Lord! When you do that, you are nullifying the importance of your relevance in God’s Kingdom! Relevance means being prepared and ready! More than that, relevance means always being at the right place and at the right time! Show up! Be prepared to spring into action on a moment’s notice!

The book of Revelation, chapter 14, speaks of a group of harpers harping harps! Amazing! Obviously, these harpers were qualified! Not only were they skilled, but they also were present with their harps in hand (none of this saying, “I didn’t know that I was going to play tonight”).

They knew what they were there to do! They knew the song to be played. And even if they did not know what the song was to be, they were still practiced enough to play ANY song requested!

Finally, they were at the right place (in front of the Throne). None of this asking, “We need another harper; where is Billy at?” And they were present at the right time (harpers NEVER arrive late to church; they are always early, tuned up, and ready!).

So, even though we usually do not see harping as a glamorous business in God’s Kingdom, harping is IMPORTANT!

Harp your harp until God upgrades you to conduct a symphony of harps!
