On a brass instrument, a tone is played by buzzing the lips into a mouthpiece creating a vibration that resonates through the horn and sends soundwaves into the air. As long as the player buzzes his lips, the tone is sustained. A similar process occurs when a violinist draws her bow across that string of her instrument creating a tone. Likewise, the tone is sustained while the vibration continues.

How does God make a tone through our lives? As long as our heart “vibrates,” we continue to live. We are sustained.

Obviously there is more to it than that. The point is, God is our Sustainer. We must keep ourselves in His Hand. We must allow His Buzz to keep a tone resonating from our lives. As Jesus said, “Apart from Me you can do NOTHING.”
