When we see that the hardest thing about playing the violin is posture, I think about how hard it is to worship God! Yes, it is so hard that the harder I try the more I realize that what I do is not really worship at all! Why is this? Well sin has filled our hearts and so no-matter how hard I try It just becomes more impossible. What then is necessary? We need a teacher, but one that has no sin and is perfect! The Bible says, “that there is none righteous on not one” Where can we find such a teacher? God’s word says, that Jesus Christ came and kept perfectly all of the commandments and full-filled all righteousness. That’s just what I need! Happy day when that becomes a reality for me.

One of the hardest violin lessons is that of achieving excellent posture. The fact is that a good posture , once learnt, will be the basis of how well you play and also how much effort you put into merely standing rather than concentrating on how you play violin. Put in the work early on and you’ll benefit for life.

What a suprise, and yet not because just this morning in my devotions read a portion from Spurgeon from Psalm 2 where God gives His beloved sleep, and not only them but He says that sleep is the best medicine for our bodies. There is also a warning because without God there is no real rest. The Jesus says in His word, “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” This then is the only rest that shall profit. Even though God blesses us with sleep here outside of Him is only unrest.
