Video of the Day: Clip from the 1991 movie “Mr. Holland’s Opus”
Bible Verse of the Day:
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep, John 10:10-11.
Biblical Connection:
Glenn Holland takes a break as a composer and musician, serving as a music teacher to play his rent. This scene displays Glenn’s ability to intertwine music with life. If your focus is only about playing notes on a page like I did on my saxophone, music will become stale. However, when you search for the heart and soul within music, playing an instrument can become fun again.
If you perceive being a Christian as Adam and Eve did in Genesis 3:1-5, you will begin to believe that God is holding you back from your full potential in life. However, if you view God as the source of abundant life, Christianity isn’t about following a set of burdensome rules. Rather, you begin to find fun and joy in life by serving the Great Shepherd. This is the joy in any faith journey.
Closing Song:
As human being, we all reach a stage in life where everything becomes bland and boring. However, when you encounter mentors like Glenn Holland, they have the ability to help you make life fun again.
