The Brash Instrument

Wednesday, October 27, 2021

In the Hebrew Scriptures, God commanded His people to sound the shofar. They were to sound it on new moons, festival days, and for mobilizing the people for war. He told the prophets, "Lift up your voice like a shofar." Its prophesied that in the last days, the shofar or trumpet will be sounded. The Lord's people used many instruments in worship. However, the only one that was commanded to be used on holy days was the shofar. Why the shofar and not the flute, the violin, or piccolo? The shofar doesn't make a nice sound; it makes a bold, piercing, and powerful sound. It is the sound of a bold people who are not intimidated. We are God's people and living in the last days. We must be people of the shofar. In other words, God wants you to be bold - bold about the Gospel, about the truth, and about salvation. The world needs salvation. Lift up your voice like a shofar and proclaim the Gospel. Talk bold, stand bold, walk bold, because God has called you to be like a shofar and not like a piccolo.rn
