A series of illustrations in a popular magazine once depicted the life story of a “one-note musician.” From frame to frame, the tale revealed how the woman followed her daily routine of eating and sleeping until the time came for the evening concert. She carefully inspected her violin, took her seat, arranged her music, and tuned her instrument. First the conductor skillfully cued one group of musicians, then another, until finally her moment arrived. It was time for her one note to be played! The conductor turned to the violinist and signalled her to sound her note. She did, and then the moment was over. The orchestra played on, and the “one-note” woman sat quietly through the rest of the concert – not with a sense of disappointment that she had played only one note, but with a sense of contentment that she had played her one note in tune, on time, and with all her ability. Jesus told the story of a business owner who gave three of his employees some talents of silver to be invested on his behalf. One was given five talents, another two talents, and another one talent, “to each according to his own ability” (Matthew 25:15 NKJV). The Bible says we will be rewarded in heaven for our service to Christ here on earth. How will God decide what your reward should be? Jesus said it’s “to each according to his own ability.” Or as Solomon put it, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” In other words, do the best you can with what God gave you.
